Deeply moving multi-religious #RemembranceDay service at @harrow_council war memorial this morning as uniformed services, councillors & general public paid our respects to those who gave their lives so we can live free. #LestWeForget#WeWillRememberThem 1/3
MP Barry Gardiner, in his message for Remembrance Day, thoughtfully reflects on the importance of remembering all who served. Wearing both the poppy and the marigold pin, he honours the bravery and immense contribution of Indian servicemen who fought alongside Allied forces in the World Wars.

I raised the horrific intimidation of my constituents and many others, as Pro-Khalistan thugs disrupted screenings of the new "Emergency" film in cinemas.
Some cinemas have even pulled the film in fear of more disruption.
We must stand up to anyone trying to silence free speech
@INSIGHTUK2@BarryGardiner Please clarify your stance on what's currently happening in Bangladesh.
Also if you can raise this issue in the Parliament on behalf of the Hindus who are currently being targeted in Bangladesh.

INSIGHT UK strongly objects to the use of the term "Asian" to describe the individuals involved in the recent Manchester airport incident.
The individuals in question were neither Indian nor Hindu. The conflation of British Hindus and Indians with the
broader "Asian" identity often leads to a misrepresentation of Indian and Hindu values and behaviours, which are fundamentally peaceful.
The British Hindu and Indian communities are highly educated, well-integrated, and law-abiding. They are among the highest taxpayers and contributors in the UK across all ethnic minorities. The British Hindu and Indian communities make significant contributions to business, healthcare, technology, innovation, and finance, driving economic growth and societal progress in the UK.
As law-abiding citizens, we stand by the police and commend their decisive response to the senseless attack on their officers.
We urge all journalists to avoid using the term "Asian" to ensure accurate and respectful representation.

Call to drop Tory candidate seeking re-election in Dudley over dog whistle and divisive politics.
The entire premise of the Conservative campaign in Dudley appealing to Pakistani voters is anti Hindu hate, false narrative on Kashmir, hate for India and for the democratically elected third time Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also undermines the sovereignty of India.
The divisive letter by North Dudley Tory candidate Marco Longhi to his Pakistani voters indulges in dog whistling and sectarian politics. The letter highlights the Labour candidateโs name, a Hindu name.
@RishiSunak@Conservatives must immediately withdraw support for Longhiโs campaign, which is both offensive to the Hindu community and alienates them.
INSIGHT UK strongly condemns this letter and demands strict action against Tory candidate Marco Longhi.
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind Mr Longhi that the entire Jammu-Kashmir was, is, and will remain an integral part of India (including Pakistan occupied Jammu-Kashmir).
