Lee Anderson, UK Lawmaker Suspended Over 'Islamists' Remarks About Sadiq Khan | Oneindia News

Lee Anderson, former Tory deputy chairman, faces suspension for contentious comments about Sadiq Khan, accusing "Islamists" of controlling the London mayor.

Refusing to retract his statement led to his expulsion from the party in Parliament.

Khan criticized the silence from Rishi Sunak and the Cabinet over the remarks.

While some Tories deemed the comments "ridiculous," the Muslim Council of Britain welcomed Anderson's suspension.

Iran Accuses U.S, Israel & Turkey of Collapsing Assad's Regime in Syria ā€“ Khamenei's Shocking Claims [Video]

Iran Accuses U.S, Israel & Turkey of Collapsing Assad's Regime in Syria ā€“ Khamenei's Shocking Claims

In a bold statement, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, has accused the United States, Israel, and Turkey of orchestrating the downfall of Bashar al-Assad's government in Syria. Khamenei claims that the collapse of Assad's regime is the result of a joint "American-Zionist" plot, with Turkey also playing a significant role. This comes after the rapid advance of rebel forces in Syria, led by the Islamist group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which resulted in Assadā€™s regime losing control over key territories. As the situation unfolds, Khamenei also emphasized that Iranā€™s role in Syria is strictly "advisory." Watch as we dive into the geopolitical implications of these claims and what it means for the future of the Middle East. #Syria #Khamenei #Iran #Assad #MiddleEast #USIsraelTurkey #SyrianCivilWar #Geopolitics #HTS #SyriaConflict #IranSyriaRelations Also Read 75 Indians Evacuated From Syria Following Recent Overthrow Of Assad Regime :: https://www.oneindia.com/india/india-evacuates-75-nationals-from-syria-011-4012219.html?ref=DMDesc Sednaya Prison Falls, Damascus Celebrates: Syrians Turn the Page on 13 Years of Tyranny :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/sednaya-prison-falls-damascus-celebrates-syrians-turn-the-page-on-13-years-of-tyranny-4012031.html?ref=DMDesc Assad Overthrown: Who Controls Syria Now? :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/assad-overthrown-who-controls-syria-now-4011775.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.318~PR.274~ED.102~GR.125~
