Anas Sarwar has slammed people who attempt to conflate the campaign for Scottish independence with the partition of India.
The Scottish Labour leader posted his annual social media message on August 14 to wish Pakistan a happy independence day - but quickly received dozens of responses questioning his opposition to Scottish independence.
Sarwar, whose father Mohammed was born in Pakistan before later becoming a Glasgow MP, said he was annoyed whenever people tried to portray Scotland as a "victim" of the British empire.
