Parliament should debate India's human rights record to help formulate UK policy
Indian PM Modi's majoritarian rule has marginalised Muslims, Sikhs, Dalits & Christians, & targeted peaceful protestors in India & disputed region of Jammu & Kashmir. Many in the UK's diaspora communities oppose his UK G7 summit visit. UK policy should help protect basic human rights in the region.
Recent statements of globally respected rights bodies:
Amnesty Int:“witch-hunt of HR organisations”
5 UN Special Rapporteurs on disputed Kashmir: harsh restrictions on Muslim-majority areas, revoking Article 370 & demographic change
UNHCHR on farmer protests: charges of sedition...disturbing departures from human rights
USCIRF: Religious freedom conditions in India are taking a drastic turn downward
Freedom House:Govt. & its allies have presided over rising violence & discriminatory policies

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. We understand you'd like a debate on the situation in India, but we're not sure what you'd like the outcome of this to be.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
