suspended the membership of
its party member and a British
parliamentarian of Kashmiri
origin, Lord Nazir Ahmed,
media reported Monday. In a statement issued, the
spokesman of the party said
that if these comments were
accurate the party utterly
condemns these remarks
which are totally unacceptable. "The international community
is rightly doing all in its power
to seek justice for the victims
of the Mumbai bombings and
halt terrorism." "His membership was
suspended due to the
statement regarding US
Presidents Barack Obama and
George W. Bush," the
statement added. The spokesman further said
that a probe regarding the
statement would be carried
out by the party. On the other hand Nazir
disowned the allegations
against him and said that he
never announced a bounty on
Barack Obama and George
Bush. Addressing media, Lord Nazir
clarified his position and
maintained that he did not use
the word 'bounty'. He said he
will stand by his stance that
Tony Blair and Bush should face international criminal
court over the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan. Lord Nazir said he will
continue to fight for the
rights of Muslims. He
condemned all the allegations
against him and denied media
reports of him offering bounty on Tony Blair and
Bush. He said he will represent
Muslims on every forum. He said he will shortly go to
London and will study the
party's allegations leveled
against him. Nazir Ahmed is a member of
the House of Lords, having
become the United Kingdom's
first Muslim life peer in 1998.
Many of his political activities
relate to the Islamic community both in the UK
and abroad, and he has often
attracted controversy.
