Hearts are open, not doors! – New UK immigration policy for India

This is from horses mouth as the statement from UK Home Secretary clarifies expecting an open door UK police with India is not viable.

UK home secretary Suella Braverman has made news in Indian community in the UK and in India as well. She says she had concerns about an open borders migration policy with India because according to her people have not voted for it   with Brexit.

Braverman kind of revealed that the largest group of overstayers in the United Kingdom belong to Indians. UK Home Secretary, Suella Braverman has conspicuously opined her “reservations” regarding a trade deal being negotiated by India and Britain. This deal was based on the grounds that through this immigration to the UK does not go against the goals of the much talked about Brexit.

The Indian-origin British Home Secretary Braverman was addressing a media brief which was held on the backdrop of UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’ recent statement. In the statement the British PM has asked British officials and negotiators for sticking to the Diwali deadline so that the free trade agreement with India could get concluded within the given timeframe.

For some reason, the spectators the lady Home Secretary did not sound too enthusiastic about Truss’ aspiration for the ambitious trade deal with India. The British PM overtly appears to be prepared to include migration in it, but her associate probably does not think so.
