Commemoration of the 33rd year of the genocide of Hindus, Kashmiri Pandits, from Jammu and Kashmir.

That this House commemorates with deep sadness and disappointment the 33rd anniversary of the attack in January 1990 by cross-border Islamic militants on the innocent population of Jammu and Kashmir; expresses its condolences to the families and friends of all those killed, raped and injured in this planned massacre; condemns the desecration of holy sites in Jammu and Kashmir; is concerned that Kashmiris who fled persecution have still not seen justice or recognition of the atrocities committed against them; commends the continued resilience and courage shown by the members of Kashmiri Pandit community who survived this gruesome genocide and did not resort to taking up arms but chose education and aspiration; deplores those sponsoring such cross-border terrorist attacks and demands that such attacks cease immediately; condemns the continued targeted Hindu killings in Jammu and Kashmir, further notes that the international principle of responsibility to protect obliges individual states and the international community to take effective measures to prevent the commission of genocide and crimes against humanity as suffered by Kashmiri Hindu community; urges the Government of India to fulfil its long-standing international commitment to recognise and acknowledge the worst form of genocide of Hindus in Jammu and Kashmir and enact the proposed Panun Kashmir Genocide Crime Punishment and Atrocities Prevention Bill in the Indian Parliament, therefore delivering much awaited justice to the Kashmiri Pandit community; and further urges the UK Government to extend the UK’s long standing commitment to protect and demand justice to the victims of this genocide.
