‘We must unite communities’: British Indian Reform candidate slams ‘Hindu Manifesto’
Candidates from all parties should reject “sectional interests” during the election campaign, a British-Indian hopeful MP has said.
Tarun Ghulati, the Reform UK candidate for the Cities and Westminster seat, has spoken out after GB News revealed that several Tory candidates had supported the so-called ‘Hindu Manifesto’.
The manifesto, compiled by several British Hindu organisations, includes controversial policies on immigration, free speech, and funding for faith schools.
Proposed immigration policies included making it easier for elderly Hindus to move to Britain and demand to loosen restrictions and time limits on the religious worker visa for priests.
He is the most senior Hindu figure to react to the ‘Hindu Manifesto’ campaign, which was criticised by both the National Secular Society and several Tory campaigners.
Ghulati, who worked worldwide for HSBC in its international manager cadre, grew up in India but has lived in Britain for over 22 years.
He told GB News: “Many of the Indians who have moved to Britain have voted Conservative and Labour, and there are a lot of candidates trying to cling on to those votes.”
Ghulati added: “Candidates from all parties should reject sectional interests and groups campaigning on religious lines. It should be all about the people and the communities. We need to bring communities together.
“We have got to be representatives for everybody, and that’s what Reform UK and Nigel Farage are promoting.
