Racist coconut coon is soon toast
In a series of joint letters to the prime minister, Muslim leaders from across the country have urged the prime minister to "separate himself" from Ms Braverman's comments, which they called on her to withdraw.
In addition, other leaders from professions including medicine, business and finance all joined the condemnation of Ms Braverman's language.
Medical professionals from the British Indian, British Ugandan, British Nigerian and British Bengali communities also drew attention to cuts in the public sector which they argued had increased young people's "vulnerability" while "reducing access to support for CSE".
"Facts are being conveniently overlooked and replaced with discriminatory and racist scapegoating," the letter read. It was co-signed by a number of surgeons, psychiatrists and nurses, including the British Indian Psychiatrist Association and the Nigerian Nurses Charitable Association UK.
Dr Shahid Latif, chair of the British Pakistani Psychiatrists Association who signed one of the letters, told Sky News: "What we would like immediately, we would like a withdrawal of this statement.
"There is no other way about this, and the PM needs to come out and separate himself from these comments, he must realise these comments cause nothing but division."
The Muslim Council of Britain also added its voice to the concerns, and urged the government to "adhere to the facts of the matter, rather than deploying deeply divisive, racially charged rhetoric that amplifies far-right narratives and demonises an entire community".
And the Muslim Women's network, which has worked with Asian victims of Child sexual exploitation, said Ms Braverman's "approach...of demonising an entire community and lending credibility to far-right narratives undermines the need to ensure all victims of CSE are protected and all perpetrators are bought to justice".
Elsewhere, senior leaders from the world of finance and business urged Mr Sunak to demand the comments be withdrawn, arguing that a failure to do so would be viewed as "a government led by you...seen as encouraging and normalising bigotry targeted at British Pakistanis".
