LONDON: A Muslim British Foreign Office minister, Syeeda Warsi, who was also the first Muslim to sit in the UK cabinet, has resigned over the UK government’s policy on Gaza, TheNewsTribe reported.
Her resignation was made public through twitter when she wrote on Tuesday that, “With deep regret I have this morning written to the Prime Minister (David Cameron) & tendered my resignation. I can no longer support Govt policy on #Gaza.”
Warsi was the first Muslim to handle as a full cabinet minister. Cameron had appointed Warsi as chair of the Conservative Party and minister without portfolio in May 2010.
It should be noted that the Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron has drawn criticism as his coalition partner Labor party has also been blamed for its silence and for not taking a tougher stance against Israel over its military attacks and atrocities on children of Gaza.
After this sheer criticism,Warsi has become the first minister to resign from the British government since the coalition was formed between the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats in 2010.
Labour Party leader, Ed Miliband has already criticized Cameron for failing to take a firm stance on Israel’s aggression against Gaza when he said that the prime minister had failed to speak out about the Israeli atrocities,however,no such action like resignation has been seen till now.
