Prime Minister Sunak was also repeatedly asked whether he spoke to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about the release of Scottish Sikh Jagtar Singh Johal? Also, did he raise the issue with Prime Minister Modi that India is buying oil from Russia?
‘G20 joint announcement disappointing’
Leader of the opposition in the British Parliament, Sir Keir Stormer described the G20 joint announcement as disappointing. He said that it was weaker than last year’s G20 summit. Liberal Democrat MP Richard Ford asked whether Prime Minister Sunak agreed with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that if he had had his way, the language of the G20 declaration would have been stronger.
Conservative MP Rehman Chishti said the war in Ukraine was not ending because India was one of the 44 non-aligned countries that did not support sanctions against Russia. India buys Russian oil. Some people are also saying that bypassing those restrictions, India refines it and sells it in Europe. Did Prime Minister Sunak talk to Prime Minister Modi about this?
Labor Party MP Barry Sherman asked whether Prime Minister Sunak asked Prime Minister Narendra Modi why he did not criticize Russia for attacking Ukraine? Did he ask what Modi is doing to stop the persecution of Muslims and Christians?
What answer did Prime Minister Sunak give?
On this, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that he and Prime Minister Modi discussed many issues. This is not G7 or G1. They cannot decide which language will be used there. His position on Ukraine is very clear. But G20 is a big group of different countries. Who do not think alike on all matters of the world. Nor do we have the same values. To assume that it will resemble the G7 shows a lack of understanding in foreign affairs.
Prime Minister Sunak further said that we urge all countries to support us and others in imposing sanctions on Russia. Obviously every country will work on this in its own way. As far as Britain not signing the new Economic Corridor Agreement is concerned, Canada, Japan and Italy have also not signed it. He also said that he had raised the issue of releasing Johal with Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
