Commonwealth Parliamentary Union

Maintaining its strong stance, India has asked the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association to shift the venue of CPA's annual conference from Islamabad, saying Pakistan has "forfeit" its right to host the meet by not inviting the Jammu & Kashmir branch which was in violation of the Association's constitution.

Congress today said Pakistan's refusal to invite the Speaker of Jammu and Kashmir Assembly for the Commonwealth Parliamentary Union (CPU) conference in Islamabad was nothing but dramatics and an attempt to insult "Indian sovereignty".
