The Guardian reported on March 24 that a high-ranking delegation of ten U.K. MPs who had planned to visit India was suddenly informed that the invitation had been withdrawn. According to the report, covered by RT, the bipartisan delegation, led by House of Commons Speaker Sir Lindsay Hoyle, was called off at the last moment by the Indian authorities. This follows by only a few hours a previously unannounced visit to India by Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi, a meeting very well received by the Indian government, with both sides agreeing to improve their troubled relations.
The unstated but clear cause of the snub to the U.K. politicians is that they had made known that they intended to lecture India on why it had to join in the denunciation of Russia and join in the sanctions warfare. Not only did India refuse, but they are also advancing plans to expand their trade with Russia on the basis of rupee-ruble deals, avoiding the toxic U.S. dollar, now widely recognized as a tool by the degenerating regime in the U.S. to impose sanctions, or even to steal foreign nations’ reserves deposited in their banks, as they did with Afghanistan and Russia.
