Seventy five years on from India’s independence, Barry spoke at a Labour Convention of Indian Organisations (LCIO) fringe meeting at Labour Party conference on 25 September 2022.
LCIO has been reinvigorated to inclusively connect British Indians to Labour and to engage with India on the big issues of our time – namely the climate crisis, sustainable development and enhancing internationalism.
Watch Barry talk of how he had spent the previous day working with the police, the council, faith leaders and Indian media to make sure that the Indian community in Brent did not rise to the bait of a planned demonstration outside a Hindu temple in my constituency. I also wrote about it in the Eastern Eye.
