The former Liberal Democrat Party Councillor, Chuni Chavda, had written an open letter to the Labour Party's leader, Jeremy Corbyn, regarding Indian Prime Minister, Narendra Modi's visit to the UK in November.

Corbyn was one of the 6 sponsors of an Early Day Motion (EDM) in the Parliament, after the riots which took place in Gujarat, when Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat.

The open letter to Corbyn asked whether he still had the same opinions about Modi now to when he had signed the EDM 479 of 2013-14. However, Chavda is yet to receive a reply for the letter dated 24th September 2015. As a result, he has also written to the Labour MP of Tooting, Sadiq Khan.

Chavda forwarded his previous letter written to Corbyn to Khan, as well as posed further questions to the Labour MP, asking him “Why should Indians vote for the Labour Party candidate when the leader has not responded to my letter?”, as well as, “Why should Indians vote for the Labour Party candidate when the Labour Party leader is not in favour of having the Indian prime minister visit England on invitation from the British prime minister?”
