London: Congress president Rahul Gandhi has held talks with leading Opposition party leaders from Britain on issues ranging from visa hurdles faced by Indians and the impact of Brexit. Gandhi, who was accompanied by his delegation of Congress MPs, highlighted that the fallout of Brexit could increase inequality and youth unemployment. Gandhi arrived in the UK on Friday on a two-day visit.
“The Congress president and Labour leadership discussed bilateral, regional and global developments of shared concerns. These included issues of unemployment, growing protectionism, trade wars and threat to rule based international order,” a Congress party statement said.
He also referred to concerns over visas for Indian professionals and students, following changes in UK visa policy and the fall in the number of Indian students in the UK since the closure of an older post-study work route. (PTI)
