An Indian politician banned from visiting Britain for nearly a decade for his role in sectarian riots that killed more than 2,000 Muslims has been asked to give a speech to the House of Commons.

UK asked not to allow Modi visit
A group of human rights activist started a petition on Wednesday expressing concern over Modi’s visit. “We strongly believe that Narendra Modi, who is responsible for the 2002 genocidal attacks in which over 2,000 men, women and children from Gujarat’s Muslim minority community were systematically killed, must not be allowed to visit the UK. Modi’s past visits to the UK have been used to raise extensive funds and support for communal violence, and a visit at this time when Modi is launching a campaign to become India’s next prime minister, and continues to try to gain votes using openly fascistic and anti-minority rhetoric, would be particularly dangerous,” the petition said.
