Ahead of the July 4 general election, the UK’s Labour Party has committed to eliminating anti-India sentiments within its ranks and fostering a strategic partnership with India. Party chair Anneliese Dodds stated that under Keir Starmer’s leadership, Labour is dedicated to building strong ties with Prime Minister Modi’s government and has removed members with extremist views. This pledge aims to win back British Indian voters, who shifted away in 2019 over the party's stance on Kashmir. Dodds emphasized Labour's commitment to trade, technology, and security cooperation with India, seeking the diaspora’s support.
