It should be talked about that Lord Nazir Ahmed was held responsible of kid sexual offences on January 5 this 12 months at a Sheffield Crown Court within the UK. Last 12 months, he was pressured to retire from the House of Lords after a girl accused him of trying to achieve sexual favours by abusing his place. He is the primary Muslim MP to be appointed as a life member of the House of Lords, the British Parliament’s higher home.
Lord Nazir Ahmed has been within the vanguard of a nasty anti-India marketing campaign, giving venomous remarks towards India over the Kashmir battle on quite a few events. He has additionally been a vocal supporter of separatist Khalistani organisations. He additionally shares an in depth relationship with Pakistan’s Prime Minister Imran Khan and ex UK PM Tony Blair.
Ironically, Amnesty International claims to foyer for the top of abuse and claims to uphold human rights. However, it’s evident that in relation to the anti-India marketing campaign being run viciously by Amnesty International and different NGOs, a stooge like Aakar Patel is prepared to even espouse the “help” of a convicted rapist who abused little youngsters. Human rights abuse appears to be a rallying level solely to browbeat nations whereas actual victims and their pursuits are sacrificed on the altar of petty politics. Aakar Patel is basically asking a rapist, who abused the human rights of kids, to combat for a supposed human rights organisation.
Another facet that turns into evident from Aakar Patel’s tweet is how vested pursuits are lobbying with overseas nations to intervene within the inside insurance policies of the nation and doing so with impunity.
