Support democracy in an internal J & K political process, not Indo-Pak hegemony.

Rejected 15 signatures

What the petition asks

Our forbears in J & K pre 1947 were transitioning from autocracy to democracy. Post 1947, we feel even more disenfranchised for becoming victims of an imposed land dispute that consequently nullified indigenous voices & divided our State. This transition was effected by the British Parliament.

Having adhered to a long deliberated sequence of independent research in AJK since 2005, an internal political process has been created here. Link: http://bit.ly/2ZbUxIR Since 1947, many a MP in the UK has reiterated that J & K belongs to its people & only they can determine their future. What was lacking was an internal resolution process & the UK's disinclination to share responsibility in this avoidable dispute. Our geography & water resources should be a blessing for humanity, not a curse.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about the political situation in Jammu and Kashmir, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

There are already petitions about the situation in Kashmir, which you might like to sign if they call for something you'd like to happen. You're more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

Table Kashmir issue before the UN Security Council as an urgent threat to peace.

Urge India to de-escalate conflict and respect the special status of Kashmir.
