Indian Foreign Secretary Harsh Vardhan Shringla has advised the British High Commissioner that ‘British MPs should refrain from practising vote bank politics by misrepresenting events. Instead of a balanced debate and with a proper understanding of the ground reality, the discussion was held in an inappropriate manner.’ The Indian High Commission in London has opposed the one-sided discussion. The discussion was initiated by a group of MPs in Britain.
