Tan Dhesi MP calls for de-escalation as tensions rise between India and Pakistan
London, May 8, 2025: Member Parliament Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi has called for de-escalation as tensions rise between India and Pakistan
As India and Pakistan tensions sadly escalate, many globally are anxious, especially for safety of loved ones in Kashmir and the Punjab.
Speaking in the House of Commons today, Tan Dhesi, Member of Parliament for Slough said: “After the recent terrorist attack, as tensions on the subcontinent sadly escalate and videos of the destruction circulate, many of my Slough constituents of Indian and Pakistani heritage are extremely worried about the safety of their loved ones as bullets fly and bombs drops. That is especially the case for those of Punjabi and Kashmiri heritage because they already have been, and will be, impacted the most by the death and injury of their family and loved ones.
“While sending condolences to all affected and recognising the UK’s historical ties and responsibilities, will the Minister assure Parliament that our Government will be at the forefront of efforts to de-escalate tensions between the two nuclear armed nations and that we will ensure that negotiations are enabled to chart a path to peace and prosperity?”
