Proceeding contribution from Lord Ahmed (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 5 December 2005. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Terrorism Bill.


Terrorism Bill

May IĀ also add that during the elections, and even after the elections, many Members from the other place went to the Kashmiri community in the United Kingdom, where they were saying openly that Kashmiris are freedom fighters and not terrorists. The Prime Minister, during his visit to India, said that they are terrorists. Would those Members of Parliament, when they go back to their constituencies with their Kashmiri constituents, be allowed to say that they are freedom fighters, or would they now have to say that they are terrorists?
