Thank you FM @humzayousaf for hosting a special Ramadan Iftar at Bute House, Edinburgh. Alongside friends from other faiths, we shared a meal & had dialogue to celebrate our diverse communities. Meeting together helps to break down barriers and promote harmony. Sikhs in Scotland
Jagtar Singh Johal, a British citizen, has been arbitrarily detained in India for over 2,200 days without any charges.
David Cameron must prioritise this case urgently to help bring Jagtar back home.

π½οΈ Our message to the Foreign Secretary Lord Cameron is clear:
After 6 years of arbitrary detention, it's time to bring Jagtar home.
#FreeJaggiNow
π° I've tabled a motion in Parliament calling on the UK Govt to do what's needed to end Jagtar's arbitrary detention.
βοΈLet's make this the last birthday he has to spend behind bars.
βοΈ Contact your MP asking them to sign EDM 374 π

Tomorrow is my constituent Jagtar's 37th birthday.
He should be at home celebrating with family - but instead he's spending his sixth consecutive birthday behind bars.
I renew my plea to the Foreign Secretary - do what's needed to end this prolonged injustice.
#FreeJaggiNow
Last week I raised a point of order regarding the failure of David Cameron to respond to my letter regarding Jagtar.
I am grateful that the Chair of the Procedure Committee has added my letter as evidence to the enquiry on Cabinet Ministers in the House of Lords

Sikhs in Scotland Happy Gurpurab. It was a blessing to join the first ever Gurpurab Nagar Keertan in Glasgow with over 1000 people. It was inspiring to talk with so many people about how Guru Nanak's philosophy enriches our lives
Join #ScottishSikhs at our First Ever Nagar Keertan (Community Procession) to Celebrate the Birth of Guru Nanak, Founder of the Sikh Faith. Everyone welcome #PeopleMakeGlasgow
