Pakistani-origin minister Warsi quits UK Govt

Published on: 

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Britain’s first female Muslim Cabinet minister, on Tuesday dramatically resigned from the Government saying the country’s stand on the Gaza conflict is “morally indefensible” and she can no longer support it. “With deep regret I have this morning written to the PMr & tendered my resignation. I can no longer support Govt policy on #Gaza,” the Pakistani-origin Foreign Office and faith and communities minister wrote on Twitter. Warsi, who was previously chairman of the Conservative Party, became the first female Muslim Cabinet minister when David Cameron took over as PM in 2010.
