rooster59 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Pakistani lawyer asks Elizabeth II to return Koh-i-Noor diamondA lawyer in Pakistan says he’s filed a court petition seeking the return of the Koh-i-Noor diamond from Britain.Jawaid Iqbal Jaffree named the UK’s Queen Elizabeth II as a respondent in the petition, which was filed in the eastern city of Lahore.Over the years, India has also made several requests for the stone to be handed back.The country was forced to hand over the diamond in colonial times. Then the largest known diamond in the world, the 105-carat rock was presented to Queen Victoria in 1850.It is set in a crown last worn by the late Queen Mother, during Elizabeth II’s coronation and is now on display in the Tower of London. -- (c) Copyright Euronews 2015-12-05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaidam Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Poor Liz, I was just watching an incredible LiveLeak video in which a young "British" gentleman, on the streets of London, was explaining Elizabeth has 2 choices, convert to Islam or leave the country. If push comes to shove she should return the rock to India just to laugh at the Pakistani's reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuchulainn Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The British empire was nothing but a looting spree. Queen Victoria even had a dog called "Looty" as she was getting so many spoils of robbery. The reason why the sun never set on the empire was that God didn't trust the English in the dark!!

Steely Dan Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 Give the lot back,and the imegrant a too.Thirty were deported from Europe the other day and sent back to Pakistan, the authorities would not let them off the plane. Give them the diamond with a few thousand economic migrants thrown in as a job lot and I would say DEAL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouse123 Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 (edited) The diamond has already been given and shared between India and Pakistan.......in London! All we need to do now is display it more where they can all get a glimpse of it, how about Bradford, Halifax, Birmingham, Rochdale, Rotherham,.....!! It's a nonsense!

NOT... Pakistan, the last country on earth that should as anything from anybody, stop chasing diamonds and start preserving the lives of your Christians minorities that have been persecuted and pogrommed for years...

It was expropriated in Lahore which, at the time, would have been part of India, but is now in Pakistan. In 1849, after the conquest of the Punjab by the British forces, the properties of the Sikh Empire were confiscated. The Koh-i-noor was transferred to the treasury of the British East India Company in Lahore. http://kohinoordiamond.org/history-of-kohinoor-diamond/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credo Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 I don't believe there was a country called Pakistan at the time the diamond was given to Victoria. It was still India. The Queen should tell the Pakistanis that she will return it to India. That should stir the pot a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah right - it was the British Empire but only the English? Guess where most of the mercenary and low life's who made up the East India Company's militia came from? Clue - many Anglo-Indians who trace their descent have very Celtic sounding names. Still, no doubt all the PC White Colonial apologists will all applaud this prat. Perhaps Britain, France and Germany should sue the Italians for all that the Romans nicked from them? And of course the Native Americans should sue for their lands and possessions taken by the American and Canadian Johnny come lately's. Britain should cut the aid to terrorist Pakistan and kick out all those immigrants that are or were illegal, in dubious marriages of convenience or break the law, including trying to oppose their own laws.

It was mined in Tamil Nadu in the South. Can they produce a bill of sale? It was never ever the property of Pakistan. But, as a Muslim terrorist supporting nation, that actively persecutes non Muslims and is constantly trying to cause trouble with India, that won't stop them.
