Boris Johnson has called for an inquiry into claims made by Conservative MP Nusrat Ghani, alleging that she was sacked as a junior minister because of concerns about her 'Muslimness'.
Nusrat Ghani said her faith was raised as an issue when she lost her job as transport minister in 2020.
The MP for Wealden told The Sunday Times she was shocked that her 'Muslimness' was discussed during a meeting in the whips’ office after the mini-reshuffle.
