Sir Keir Starmer repositions Labour on Kashmiri conflict after meeting Labour Friends of India

SIR KEIR STARMER has repositioned Labour on the issue of the Kashmiri conflict after meeting with the executive team of Labour Friends of India (LFIN) today.

The move comes after LFIN warned that its relationship with the party was “strained” under former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.

In November the LFIN condemned the Labour 2019 conference for “anti-Indian rhetoric contained in the emergency motion on Kashmir,” which objected to the Narendra Modi government’s unconstitutional removal of Jammu and Kashmir’s status and rights.
