TORY CANDIDATE TELLS LABOUR RIVAL IN ENGLAND YOU ARE ” TALKING THROUGH YOUR TURBAN”

Philip Dunne, who is seeking re-election as the MP for Ludlow, told Kuldip Sahota he was “talking through his turban”.

A standing for election Labour MP has reported his Tory rival to the police for telling him he was “talking through his turban”.

Philip Dunne, who is seeking re-election as the Tory MP for Ludlow, Shropshire, made the comment to Kuldip Sahota at a campaign  event  this week.

Mr Sahota, has described the remark as “hateful” and said Boris Johnson is failing to tackle racism in his party.

The Labour Turban wearing candidate said on Friday: “The police have suggested Philip Dunne’s racist comment towards me could constitute a hate crime and I am formally reporting it as such.

“The Conservatives are refusing to suspend Philip Dunne and to strip him of his honour.

“This further exposes Boris Johnson’s lie that he is taking action against racism in his party. In standing by Philip Dunne, he is endorsing hate and prejudice towards Sikhs.

“His comment about my turban was hateful. He shamed and humiliated me in a public attack on my faith and my community.” Said the offended Labour MP.
