At the ongoing Conservative Party conference, Robert Jenrick, one of the frontrunners to replace Rishi Sunak, has said that India should be subjected to tough visa restrictions unless it takes back its nationals who enter Britain illegally.

The contest to replace Rishi Sunak as Conservative leader intensifies, with immigration at the forefront. Leading candidates Robert Jenrick and Kemi Badenoch push for stricter Indian visa rules and stress cultural integration.

The election follows the resignation of Sunak as Tory leader in the wake of the party’s bruising general election defeat in July under his leadership.
