Former British Government official says she was fired because she was a Muslim.
The former British Deputy Prime Minister was fired for being a Muslim she told in an interview.
Nusrat Ghani, the former British Deputy Minister of Transportation, said on Sunday that he had been fired because he was a Muslim.
According to the Anatolian News Agency, the Conservative party official told the Sunday Times that a senior member of parliament at the time had told him that the “Muslim status” of the female minister had “caused a sense of unease”. His colleagues had become.
Ghani added that in early 2020, before the sweeping reshuffle of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in the cabinet, “I was told there was a concern that I was not loyal to the party because I had not defended the party well enough on charges of Islamophobia.”
“It was very clear to me that the observers of Party and House No. 10, because of my background and religion, had a higher threshold of loyalty for me than others,” he said.
The accusation of Islamophobia against the British Conservative Party peaked in 2019 when 25 of the party’s advisers were found to have a history of sharing racist and anti-Islamist content on social media.
Nusrat Ghani has been a member of the British Parliament since 2015 and his origins go back to Jammu and Kashmir, which is a disputed area between India and Pakistan.
Reacting to Ghani’s remarks, Mark Spencer, the Conservative leader in the British Parliament, said: “These allegations are completely false and I consider them defamatory. “I have never used the words attributed to me.”
In an interview with Sky News, British Deputy Prime Minister Dominique Robb said that Nosrat Ghani’s remarks were “extremely important” and that he should file a formal complaint to investigate the matter.
