The Labour catching phrase ‘immediate and permanent ceasefire’ to the fighting in Palestine after thousands killed, and now repeated by Harrow West MP Gareth Thomas, seems to be catching up!Palestine-Israel situation is a significant public concern, including in Harrow as indicated by a number of demonstrations calling for an end to the fight. The issue has serious implications for the elections.
Therefore, no surprise that Tory parliamentary candidate for Harrow West Abbas Merali (photo) in his statement requests the government to call for “an immediate and permanent ceasefire as the only way of achieving long term peace in the Middle East”.
“We can no longer accept the Israeli government’s dismissal, in words and deeds, of two states. Nor can we ignore the recent ruling and the binding provisional measures from the International Court of Justice”, he said.
Abbas Merali from the community that Mr Thomas has relied upon for votes, is a Three Rivers District Council councillor who went to John Lyon school in Harrow. He is a qualified chartered accountant and runs the care homes business, including one in Harrow West.
In explaining why he is standing for Harrow West, he said: “It is clear that people’s concerns have been ignored for many years and Labour have taken their votes for granted.
“Harrow West needs a dynamic change! I am determined to restore pride and bring back the Harrow. I will work closely with the Conservatives run Harrow Council, government ministers and holding the London Mayor to account to make Harrow a safer, attractive, healthier and prosperous place to live!”
His statement concludes: “I urge the government, all members of my party, and my political opponents to join me in calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire”.
