Motion Text

That this House expresses its deep concern at the recent examples of brutal behaviour of the Indian Police in the eviction of Punjabi farmers from their farms in Kashipur in the State of Uttaranchal, in their violent attack on the protesting vegetable merchants in the old fruit market in Amritsar, and the beating to near death of Sukhvinder Singh Sukha at Phagawara; and calls upon the Government to express formally its condemnation to the Indian High Commission.
