Blunt’s criticism of Imran Ahmad Khan verdict sparks fury among MPs
The Guardian says MPs have expressed outrage over comments made by the Conservative MP Crispin Blunt about the guilty verdict in Imran Ahmad Khan’s sexual assault trial.
Blunt, the MP for Reigate since 1997 and chair of the all-party parliamentary group on LGBTQ+ rights, said he was certain Khan was innocent and that the trial “was nothing short of an international scandal”.
The MP for Wakefield was expelled from the Conservative party with “immediate effect” hours after being convicted of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old boy.
“I am utterly appalled and distraught at the dreadful miscarriage of justice that has befallen my friend and colleague Imran Ahmad Khan, MP for Wakefield since December 2019,” Blunt said in a statement.
