Naqvi slams UK Labour MP for ‘Islamophobia’ during Boris visit

 


New Delhi: Minority Affairs Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Friday reacted strongly to British labour MP Naz Shah seeking British Prime Minister Boris Johnson to raise the issue of  “Islamophobia”  during his visit to India  by  asking her  not to convert her “prejudiced agenda of “India Phobia into Islamophobia”. Shah, Labour Party MP  from Bradford West and shadow Minister for crime reduction, took to Twitter on Thursday to convey to Johnson that the UK's foreign relations must not just be based on trade and internationalism but also on human rights.

"My plea to the @10DowningStreet is to raise the growing issue of Islamophobia with the Modi Government," Naz, the British parliamentarian of Pakistani origin, said. In a long series of tweets, Shah said the rising tide of "everyday hate and mob lynching" against Muslims in India is becoming worrying.

Hitting back at Naz, Naqvi said, "Please, don't convert your prejudiced agenda of 'India Phobia' into 'Islamophobia'.

Every Indian citizen including Minorities is safe and secure in India."

"Co-existence" is our commitment and "inclusivity" is our culture, he said in his tweet.

In her tweets, Shah said that in Karnataka, the court also upheld a state government order that banned headscarves (hijab) in classrooms. (Agencies)
