Human rights advocate Keir Starmer will be the new Prime Minister of Britain on Friday. Starmer has advocated a positive change in the Labor Party’s relationship with people of Indian origin.

Starmer is the hero of victory
After a crushing electoral defeat in December 2019, the credit for the Labor Party’s victory will now obviously go to Starmer. He is trying to reshape his party’s relationship with British Indians, who were affected by the alleged anti-India stance on Kashmir during the tenure of former leader Jeremy Corbyn. In his victory address, Starmer said, “This is the purpose of four and a half years of change in the party: a changed Labor Party that is ready to serve our country, ready to put Britain back in the service of working people.” Starmer’s stance on India As Prime Minister, his stance towards India was reflected in the Labor Party’s 2024 election manifesto, which talks about “a new strategic partnership with India, which includes a free trade agreement as well as deepening cooperation in areas such as security, education, technology and climate change.” He said at the ‘India Global Forum’ last year, “I have a clear message to all of you today. This is a changed Labor Party.” Starmer said, “My Labor Party government will seek a relationship with India based on our shared values of democracy and aspiration. It will strive for a free trade agreement (FTA). We share that ambition, but we will also build a new strategic partnership for global security, climate security, economic security.”
‘There is no place in Britain for hatred towards Hindus’
During a visit to the Sri Swaminarayan Temple in Kingsbury, North London, during the campaign last week, he said in his message to British Hindus that “there is absolutely no place in Britain for hatred towards Hindus.” This is a message that he has been repeating during the Diwali and Holi celebrations for the past few years, in which the Labor Party has been described as ready to rule after 14 years in opposition.
Kept children away from politics
Before joining politics, Starmer has spent a long time in the legal profession. He was first elected as a Labour Party Member of Parliament from London in 2015. Starmer and his wife have kept their two teenage children away from the political limelight. His wife works in the National Health Service (NHS). Starmer said in his speech that the change he promised would begin soon.
