There must be de-escalation and end to cycle of violence and fear which has plagued region for so long: Jeremy Corbyn

BJP slams Congress after UK Labour Party head says he met, discussed Kashmir with its leaders. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) attacked the Congress after the Congress representatives had a meeting with UK representatives along leader of the Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn.

Jerem Corbyn on Wednesday took to Twitter and said, "A very productive meeting with UK representatives from the Indian Congress Party where we discussed the human rights situation in Kashmir. There must be a de-escalation and an end to the cycle of violence and fear which has plagued the region for so long."

The picture included Kamal Dhaliwal, who heads the overseas Congress in the UK.

The BJP was quick to slam the Congress and wrote on Twitter, "Appalling! @INCIndia owes it to the people of India to explain what its leaders are telling foreign leaders about India. India will give a befitting reply to Congress for these shameful shenanigans!"

The BJP on Thursday lashed out at the Congress over its "shameful shenanigans" and demanded an explanation after British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn said he discussed the human rights situation in Kashmir with "UK representatives from the Indian Congress Party".

The Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn's stand on Kashmir has not gone down well with the Modi-led BJP government.

The saffron party's foreign affairs department in-charge Vijay Chauthaiwale said, "This is Congress seeking advice from the UK Labour leader - they might as well go to their masters directly in Pakistan."

Kamal Dhaliwal, who heads the overseas Congress in the UK, took to Twitter and said, "The @BJP4India's malicious statements are another attempt to distract people from their failures." His tweet was retweeted by Indian Overseas Songress UK.

Kamal Dhaliwal wrote on Twitter, "Our meeting with @jeremycorbyn was held to condemn the Kashmir resolution passed by his party and to reiterate that J&K is an internal matter and outside intervention will not be accepted. @BJP4India's malicious statements are another attempt to distract people from their failures."

The Congress on Thursday accused the BJP of making "malicious statements" after the saffron party asked the Congress to explain British Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn's tweet.

The UK unit of the Indian Overseas Congress claimed it had met Corbyn to condemn the Kashmir resolution passed by his party and iterate to them that Jammu and Kashmir is an internal matter and no intervention will be accepted.

The Congress also tweeted that the BJP has failed to answer questions on economic slowdown, unemployment and banking crisis and is resorting to spreading lies instead.
