NEW DELHI: The BJP on Thursday slammed the Congress after a delegation of the opposition party's UK representatives discussed the Kashmir situation with Jeremy Corbyn , leader of the Labour Party. As the meeting kicked up a controversy, the Indian Overseas Congress issued a clarification and denied the charges levelled by the BJP.Attacking the Congress, the BJP said the party owes an explanation to the people of India about what its members are telling foreign leaders about the country."India will give a befitting reply to Congress for these shameful shenanigans!" the BJP warned as reports emerged of the meeting.Earlier, Corbyn had tweeted after the meeting: "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 Labour Party leader, whose stand on Kashmir has not gone down well with the Indian government, also shared a picture of the meeting.The delegation included Kamal Dhaliwal, who heads the overseas Congress in the UK, and is considered close to the top Congress leadership including Rahul Gandhi.Responding to the controversy, the Indian Overseas Congress slammed the BJP and said the meeting was held to condemn the Kashmir resolution passed by Labour Party and to reiterate that J&K is an internal matter and outside intervention will not be accepted."We refuse Mr @jeremycorbyn’s tweet. we just told him that Labour Party’s resolution on Kashmir is not appropriate. Labour party should not interfere in India’s internal matters as Kashmir is integral part of India," the Indian Overseas Congress said in a tweet.Hitting out at the Congress, BJP'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."The UK's opposition Labour Party had last month passed an emergency motion on Kashmir calling for party leader Jeremy Corbyn to seek international observers to "enter" the region and demand the right of self-determination for its people.India had strongly slammed the UK's Labour Party's move calling for international intervention on the Kashmir issue.Ministry of external affairs (MEA) spokesperson Raveesh Kumar had described the Labour Party's move as an attempt at "pandering to vote-bank interests".(With inputs from agencies)
