Martin Docherty-Hughes has asked the UK Government to pause its trade negotiations with the India.
An SNP MP has submitted a motion urging the UK Government to call for the release of a Scots man who is being detained in India - days after the six year anniversary of his arrest.
UK Prime Minister Sunak raised Jagtar's case with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G20 summit, but Johal's brother accused him of failing to "stand up" for the Dumbarton man. Docherty-Hughes said: “The immovable position of the British Government on the arbitrary detention of my constituent flies in the face of senior political and legal opinion, their decision is clearly based on their frantic post-Brexit desire for a trade deal with India at the expense of a UK citizen’s right.
Indian officials accuse Johal of being involved in a murder plot and charged him under the country’s Unlawful Activities Prevention Act.
