On Day 3 of UK yatra, Modi meets Labour party's Corbyn

November 14, 2015 14:57

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today met Jeremy Corbyn, the chief of the Labour Party in Great Britain. It will be interesting to know what the two leaders discussed as Corbyn has long been known to be a critic of Modi.

In fact, in 2013, as the Foreign Office began making overtures to Modi after having snubbed him for more than a decade, Corbyn signed a parliamentary motion calling on the British government to reinstate its diplomatic boycott of Modi, "given his role in the communal violence in 2002 [in Gujarat] that claimed the lives of hundreds if not thousands of Muslims'.

It is reported that the Labour party leader will challenge Modi over his human rights record.
