UK PM to publicly acknowledge police brutality towards peaceful farmers in India

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

Stop and withdraw from all arms and defence deals between UK firms and Indian Government and all Indian companies. Until UK Parliament debates the matter and the British Prime Minister writes to the Indian Prime Minister and voices his concern at the tactics used against innocent farmers in Delhi.
Mainstream media have observed and reported Indian Police attacks on innocent farmers in Delhi. Many have been reported of dying during the peaceful protests. There danger of escalation in India. There is a real concern from British-Indian community about arms and defence equipment being sold to India at this time, and that they could be used in this conflict.
