Labour Party Commits to Strengthen India-UK Ties Ahead of Elections

The UK's Labour Party is committed to eliminating anti-India sentiments and building a strategic partnership with India. The party is working to win back Indian diaspora voters lost in the 2019 general elections due to contentious issues like Kashmir. All parties are courting Indian diaspora votes ahead of the upcoming elections.

The UK's Opposition Labour Party has pledged to eradicate anti-India sentiments within its ranks and to forge a strong strategic partnership with the Narendra Modi-led administration. This commitment comes as the party aims to secure a governing mandate in the post-July 4 general election landscape.

After a contentious resolution under former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn supporting international intervention in Kashmir, which cost the party British Indian votes in 2019, Labour is keen to amend ties. Anneliese Dodds, Labour Party chair and shadow secretary for women and equalities, assured the South Asian community that the party has purged members with extremist views.

With significant Indian diaspora votes at stake, candidates from all parties are making their final appeals ahead of voting day. Key electoral players stress the importance of India-UK relations, emphasizing trade agreements and collaborative endeavors in various sectors including technology, environment, and security.
