Was delighted to speak recently - alongside my friend @Matt_VickersMP - in Parliament to a group of his constituents on human rights, Kashmir and my role as the co-Chair of the APPG on British Muslims. 🙏
These issues matter 💙
I Chaired a conference in Parliament on Kashmir - with a focus on the experiences of women and girls.
🕊️l was honoured to be presented with an award by the Institute of Peace and Development for my work on Kashmir.
If you care about human rights - you care about Kashmir 💙
The G20 Working Group on Tourism is taking place in Kashmir. This should be an opportunity to raise human rights and self-determination for the Kashmiri people.
I shall always be resolute representing my constituents of Kashmiri descent who are worried about family & friends.
📍Stand in this spot in Bury Town Centre and you can see £107 million of Government investment.
💷 All new funding that has been brought in since I was elected in 2019 and will make a real difference to our town.
🥊 I’ll keep fighting to make our town the best it can be.
⭐️ HUMAN RIGHTS ⭐️
Very pleased to attend the Kashmir Conference in Westminster today.
My message was simple - if you care about Human Rights, you care about Kashmir 💙
🇵🇰 Pakistan Independence Day 🇵🇰
Many of my constituents come from Pakistan (or can trace their heritage back to this county) 💙

Brilliant to meet with @ChMSarwar and with members of the Pakistan APPG to discuss UK-Pakistan relations. We stand together on strengthening relations between our two countries 👍
Today in the House of Commons, I met with new President of Azad Kashmir (part of the world where so many of my constituents can trace their ancestry) Sultan Mehmood Chaudhry. We discussed #Peterborough, human rights in #Kashmir, the Kashmir APPG - and @CFoKashmir
Our co-Chair @paulbristow79 at Conservative Party Conference. Muslim values are Conservative values.
We can show British Muslims that our Party shares their concerns about atrocities carried out against Muslims across the world and make the Conservatives their natural Party💙
