THE Prime Minister has said he wants to ensure"justice is done" in the case of detained Dumbarton man Jagtar Singh Johal, but refused to commit to lobbying the Indian premier about the case.
He said he has been tortured with methods including electric shocks, and faces the death penalty over his activism and campaigning for Sikh human rights. A cross-party group of at least 70 MPs, according to the Sikh Federation, wrote to Mr Sunak this week calling on him to press the Hindu nationalist leader to “immediately release” Mr Johal.
Asked by reporters on the plane to New Delhi whether he would raise Mr Johal’s case with Mr Modi, the Prime Minister said: “Both the Foreign Secretary and Foreign Office ministers have raised this case on multiple occasions with their counterparts.
