Grandson continues a ‘proud tradition’

THE Scots Asian MSP, Humza Yousaf, has compared the SNP’s stand on Scottish independence to his grandfather’s fight for freedom against British colonial rule in India.

Addressing the SNP conference, Mr Yousaf, who is regarded as a rising star of the Nationalist movement, said: “Of course, his fight for freedom and self- determination was successful in 1947, with the creation of an independent and sovereign India and Pakistan.

“He could not have imagined that merely seven decades later, his grandson would be carrying on this proud family tradition of fighting for independence.”

Labour MP Anas Sarwar said: “The idea that Scotland is a colony of England is utter nonsense.”
