Pakistani-origin Lawmakers in UK Support Radical Islamist Groups, Rapists, and Child Molesters

For more than a decade, a disturbing pattern of group-based child sexual exploitation has haunted several towns and cities across the United Kingdom. Despite repeated reports and public outrage, the issue remained politically sensitive, mainly due to the uncomfortable intersections of ethnicity, race, and institutional negligence. The “grooming gangs” typically targeted vulnerable young girls through manipulation, coercion, and violence. Notable cases include the Rotherham scandal (1997–2013), during which at least 1,400 children were sexually exploited over 16 years, primarily by men of Pakistani origin. These incidents revealed systemic failures of British authorities and police, who hesitate to act against grooming gangs, mainly Pakistanis, due to fears of racism or political incorrectness, leaving victims vulnerable.

Another concerning trend in the UK is increasing support for radical groups like Palestine Action, which Parliament recently banned. While most lawmakers supported the legislation to designate the group as a terrorist organization, few members condemned the decision. Of the 26 who voted against the bill, at least six were of South Asian descent, mostly Pakistanis, including Zarah Sultana, Adnan Hussain, Imran Hussain, and Tahir Ali. These Pakistani-origin lawmakers, along with others, have been leading in supporting radical Islamist ideology in the UK. They openly support the Pakistan military’s agenda, anti-India terror organizations in Jammu and Kashmir, and known radical entities like Hamas.

In the past, these parliamentarians either attempted to block the investigation into the ‘grooming gang’ issue or quietly supported Pakistani-origin individuals involved in raping, harassing, and abducting vulnerable young British women. However, the most dangerous consequence of their radical actions is the complete ignorance and silence of other British lawmakers and subsequent governments in the United Kingdom. Both Labor and Conservative parties fear losing their South Asian voters and unintentionally avoiding political incorrectness or being labeled as an “Islamophobe” when raising concerns about these sensitive issues. As a result, grooming gangs and radical Islamist groups have been operating with impunity in the UK without fear of legal investigation or punishment, as they have the support of Pakistani-origin parliamentarians.

Palestine Action has operated on British soil for several years until their members broke into RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire last month and sprayed two military planes with red paint. The group is notoriously anti-Israel and anti-Jews, supports Hamas, and has carried out “atrocious acts” that have increased in “frequency and severity” recently, expanding its targets to financial firms, charities, universities, and government buildings in the UK. Due to its radical Islamist activities, Palestine Action has become the first direct action protest group to be banned under the UK’s Terrorism Act 2000, placing it alongside groups like the Islamic State and al-Qaida.

Nevertheless, this did not prevent Pakistani-origin lawmakers from defending the group, as Zarah Sultana stated in her parliamentary speech, “This will go down as a dark day in our country’s history. People will ask which side were you on, and I stand with the millions of people who oppose genocide… I say this loudly and proudly… we are all Palestine Action.” Conversely, Sultana and other Pakistani-origin MPs remained silent on the grooming gang issue. Sources indicate that the Pakistani government pressured these lawmakers to oppose the investigation into the grooming gang issue, as it would have embarrassed Pakistan internationally. Fortunately, continuous internal and external pressures compelled the British government to announce a national inquiry into the Pakistani grooming gangs and ban a radical group like Palestine Action.

Prominent figures, including Elon Musk and J.K. Rowling, raised awareness about the grooming gang issue on social media, exposed the role of Pakistani-origin men, and called for accountability from the UK government. Additionally, in its exposé on the issue, The Times revealed that the investigation reports showed a pattern similar to that seen in previous scandals: a disproportionate number of suspects come from Pakistani-origin backgrounds, particularly in towns such as Rotherham, Rochdale, Oldham, Keighley, Telford, and Huddersfield. Yet the 2025 Casey Report, commissioned after renewed outrage and parliamentary debates, was more direct. It found that in areas like Rotherham and Rochdale, over 80% of offenders in grooming gangs were of Pakistani heritage. The report criticized local councils and police departments for ignoring abuse due to fears of being labeled racist or Islamophobic.

According to the latest census data, the Pakistani ethnic group constitutes 2.7 percent of the total UK population, which is 1.6 million people. More importantly, in the 2024 general elections, 15 Pakistani-origin Ministers of Parliament were elected to the UK parliament. Consequently, they would pressure any ruling government in the UK to stop a free and fair investigation into any issue exposing links to Pakistan or radical Islamist groups. Reports suggest that after failing to prevent Palestine Action’s proscription as a terrorist organization, Pakistani-origin lawmakers, along with other South Asian MPs and local parliamentarians, may form a new political party to pressure the Labor and Conservative parties on similar issues. Their core voter base is expected to be Pakistani-origin radical Islamists, Hamas supporters, and left-leaning British voters.

Sources indicate that Pakistan may provide financial resources and diaspora support to these lawmakers, including Jeremy Corbyn, Sarah Sultana, Adnan Hussain, Yasmin Qureshi, among others. With the growing influence of the Pakistani diaspora and Islamist outfits in the UK, this new party might gain enough political traction to hinder laws and bills against terrorism-supporting civil society groups and grooming gangs. Moreover, they will be heavily focused on creating a divide within the South Asian diaspora in the UK, mainly on religious lines, and push for anti-Israel and anti-India policies. It serves as a stark warning to the British people and their lawmakers that unless these Pakistani “dual citizens” are stopped from spreading their radical politics in the UK, the country faces serious risks of Islamic radicalization, political instability, and governance chaos. Therefore, it has become essential for the UK to investigate the intent, motives, and ‘external’ support for these Pakistani-origin politicians and legislators. Otherwise, the UK faces a grave risk of betrayal from these people and enhances the safety and security threat for Britishers, especially vulnerable children and women.
