British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been criticized for referring to India’s peasant movement as “a problem between India and Pakistan.” Boris Johnson made the remarks in response to a question from British MP Tanmanjit Singh Dhesi in Parliament on Wednesday, The Dawn reported.
In a video posted on Twitter, Tanmanjit Singh Dhesi asked Boris Johnson: “What is the UK government’s position on the way India is trying to crack down on farmers by using water cannons and tear gas shells? “
In response, Boris Johnson said: “Our view is that we should be deeply concerned about what is happening between India and Pakistan. However, the governments of the two countries must come forward to resolve this.
As seen in the video, Dhesi was confused after hearing such comments from Boris. He tweeted that the British Prime Minister’s comments were ignorant and disappointing.
“The whole world is watching, the issue is very important, thousands of people around the world have protested,” he said. London-based media, including the BBC, have reported on this. Boris Johnson’s nonsensical comments put our nation to shame. You have no idea about this. I am disappointed with your answer.
Many more have criticized Boris Johnson’s comments on social media. British MP Afzal Khan said: “This is another disappointing behavior from Boris Johnson. The Prime Minister has given an irrelevant answer to his memorization on India and Pakistan. Pakistan has nothing to do with this issue. Incredible!
Zahra Sultana, another member of Parliament, said: “A prime minister will know the difference between Kashmir and Punjab. Is it too much to ask?”
It should be noted that the Delhi border is littered with farmers protesting the repeal of the controversial farm law in India. Hundreds of thousands of farmers have been protesting on the Delhi border for almost two weeks, demanding the repeal of the law, ignoring the severe winter amid the Corona epidemic.
