One PIO and one PoK-origin MP in British PM Starmer’s new cabinet

Lisa Nandy, the only Indian-origin MP in the new cabinet, held the shadow foreign secretary role. This is a stark contrast to the cabinet Boris Johnson had formed in July 2019 which was the most diverse in British history. Meanwhile British Pakistani MP Shabana Mahmood, who has been strongly critical of the Indian govt over Kashmir, has been appointed justice secretary.
