That this House expresses concern about the upsurge in violence which has recently occurred in India-occupied Kashmir; urges the Indian authorities to restrain their military forces from using disproportionate force against the civilian population, and to allow non-governmental organisations into the Kashmir valley in order to monitor the situation and to carry out humanitarian relief work; believes that the views of the people of Kashmir are paramount in determining how they are governed and who shall govern them; and calls on the governments of India and Pakistan to recognise that the kingdom of Kashmir belongs to the people of Kashmir and only they can determine their future.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
