Starmer: PM 'lacks the backbone' to call out Islamophobia

Sir Keir Starmer said Rishi Sunak "lacks the backbone" to call out "Islamophobia" after Lee Anderson’s attack on Sadiq Khan.

Speaking during a visit to Shrewsbury, the Labour leader said: "I think this is straightforward.

It’s Islamophobia and the Prime Minister should call it out for what it is... The reason he won’t is because he is so weak.

They are divided, chaotic and if they are re-elected we are going to have five more years of this." Report by Covellm.

Kanwar Yatra 2024:UP Govt's 'Display Names' Guidelines for Eateries Sparks 'Anti-Muslim' Controversy

After a row erupted over eateries on the Kanwar Yatra route in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar being asked to display their owners’ names, opposition parties saw the significant move as “anti-Muslim”. The preparations for the Kanwar Yatra, which is set to commence on July 22, are underway accompanied by new guidelines from the administration. On Wednesday (July 18), police in the Muzaffarnagar district issued an order concerning the Kanwar Yatra route, mandating that all eateries display the names of their owners prominently outside their establishments. This directive aims to avoid confusion and ensure transparency during the religious procession. #KanwarYatra2024 #UPGovt #YogiAdityanath #AkhileshYadav #UPGovernment #BJP #DisplayNames #EateriesGuidelines #AntiMuslimControversy #ReligiousTolerance #CommunalTensions #ReligiousFreedom #IndiaPolitics #UPPolitics #MuslimRights #HinduFestival #PublicPolicy #CulturalSensitivity #EqualityForAll ~PR.152~ED.101~HT.95~
