Naz Shah, a 41-year-old disability rights campaigner who beat out her colourful left-wing rival nicknamed “Gorgeous George” Galloway in Bradford West, has an incredible life story of her own. She was brought up in poverty, taken to Pakistan to escape domestic abuse and then forcibly married. Shah's mother ended up killing her abusive partner and going to jail after long suffering in silence.

Was occupied on something else. This is great news however I will be honest some of these are waste of space. I am not going to name them but they won on the back of the 'Pakistani vote bank' similar to how we have it in Pakistan.

However some of them like Labour MP Sadiq Khan and in particular Conservative MP Sajid Javid whose is in Prime Minister Cameron's Cabinet and is Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport therefore a minister in the UK government have great future.

Sajid Javid MP has been slated as possible next leader of the Conservative Party and you know what means. I know it would be too ambitious to say he might make it to PM but the mere fact his name has been mentioned says a lot. Not bad for a son of a immigrant.

Could Sajid Javid be next UK Prime Minister?

Could Sajid Javid be Britain's first Asian Prime Minister? His parents arrived here with just £1, yet he's now a minister. That's why this man believes immigrants are natural Tories | Daily Mail Online

So you never know. I am not saying this will happen but like I said even for you to hear this says a lot.

Pathetic. You should be worried about much more serious crime in your country, that particular crime seems to be giving your country a negative image around the world. Many people are even advising young females not to travel to India for their own safety.

Come back once you have sorted your poor and disgusting culture, after that you and me could talk talk about Sharia Law all day long. Cheers.

There were a total of 59 Indian-origin candidates in the fray from the Tories (17), Labour (14), Liberal Democrats (14), Green Party (4), United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) (3), independents (2) and one each from the smaller parties like All People's Party, Christian Movement for Great Britain, National Liberal Party, Socialist Labour Party and Young People's Party.

David Cameron, who looks set to return as prime minister, has repeatedly gone on record during the campaign claiming that he is confident that the country's "first Asian or black prime minister" will come from his Conservative party.
