A senior Tory MP has said the former minister who claimed she was sacked for her "Muslimness", "is not obviously Muslim".
Michael Fabricant MP for Lichfield in Staffordshire has said Nusrat Ghani's accusation "stinks" and he believes the timing of her claim is "interesting".
Ms Ghani told the Sunday Times she was sacked as transport minister in 2020 as a Government whip had said her faith was "making colleagues uncomfortable".
