OTT Indian Diaspora Outrage

I must say I was rather amused with the Over-The-Top (OTT) outrage that poured out from certain sections of the Indian Diaspora over a few Tory MPs forming the ‘Conservative Friends of Kashmir’ group. I say amused because I have yet to see such outrage for the large numbers of Labour MPs who have been against India for years. I am amused because people tell me that this OTT reaction has been orchestrated by certain Indians who are friendly with Labour and wanted to milk this unfortunate stupidity by a few Tory MPs. I applaud Labourites for their opportunistic chest thumping, no doubt contrived to embed to take the attention away from the real enemy of India, the current Labour Party. Though giving the Tories such a slap is also a timely reminder, lest they forget.

Let me be clear about my position. These few Tory MPs are stupid. They are self-serving idiots more bothered to retain their seats than have any real empathy with Kashmir or its people. Let me be equally clear, the Conservative Party would be very stupid if they don’t nip this in the bud. So I say to PM Johnson, the Rt Hon Priti Patel and the Rt Hon Rishi Sunak, don’t allow the Conservative Party to make the same fatal mistake that Labour made more than a decade ago when they turned a blind eye whilst certain sections of the party went into bed with Pakistani extremists to secure block votes.

I should also remind people that PM Johnson made it clear that Kashmir is an internal issue for India. My advice to them that they should establish clarity in their current policy and forthcoming manifesto, that Kashmir is integral to India and a matter for India alone. Every Tory candidate should have to sign up to that or they should be dumped.

There is a lesson to be learnt from President Trump. He recognised Israel unilaterally and established the US Embassy in Jerusalem whilst the friends of terrorists denounced him. Now after a year we see the fruits of that policy. Even countries in the Middle East that were hostile have now accepted the new paradigm. Let the UK become the very first country to declare at the UN, that Kashmir is integral to India alone, no ifs or buts. Sometimes as a nation we should stand head and shoulders above everything else and take a history making stand. History awaits, make that call PM Johnson.

The UK needs a strong opposition, but not a morally or ethically corrupt opposition that thrives on hate, anarchy, and divisive politics. If Sir Keir Starmer really wants to change the Labour Party – he needs to listen to people like me, I am only a call away!

My message to the Indian diaspora. You are being played by the anti-India forces. Don’t be the fools who get fooled again, and again, and again. And my message to leading Indians, your reverence to the Labour Party is commendable, but when you sell the land of your ancestors for a pat on the back from your woke political masters, surely even your Atma is telling you of the inherent error? Don’t be like Bhishma Pitamaha who was blinded by his allegiance to Hastinapur at the expense of his duty to humanity and dharma. He and the other high and mighty watched whilst the honour of a woman was violated. One should not be so blinded that we allow Mother India to be dishonoured by anti-India forces.
