UK Labour Party willing to work with Modi if he becomes PM

“The invitation is a culmination of several years of engagement between senior representatives of the Labour Party and Narendra Modi,” the Labour MP for Brent North had said back then.

Modi had politely declined the offer.

“Clearly Mr Modi comes with a reputation, and the fact that he was on the banned list in the UK and the US for several years is going to present challenges for all the parties, Labour included,” said Yasmin Qureshi, Labour MP for Bolton South East.
