India has countered U.K. Home Secretary Suella Braverman’s claim that the Migration and Mobility Partnership (MMP) had not "worked very well" to say that India had initiated action on all cases raised with it under the agreement.
In response to a PTI query about Ms. Braverman’s interview in ‘ The Spectator’ that branded Indians as the “largest group of people who overstay” their visas in the U.K., the Indian High Commission here said that India awaits “demonstrable progress” on certain commitments undertaken by the U.K. government under the MMP that was signed last year.
“As part of our wider discussions under Migration and Mobility, the government of India is committed to working with the government of the UK to facilitate the return of Indian citizens who have overstayed their visa period here in the UK,” the High Commission of India statement said on Thursday.
