MINISTERS urged de-escalation in the crisis between India and Pakistan today, and called for calm in Britain itself amid fears of inter-communal tensions as a result of the military exchanges between the two nuclear-armed powers.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer told the Commons: “Rising tensions between India and Pakistan will be of serious concern for many across Britain.
“We are engaging urgently with both countries as well as other international partners, encouraging dialogue, de-escalation and the protection of civilians.”
