‘Go Away’: UK PM Rishi Sunak And Home Secretary Suella Braverman Heckled Over Immigration Bill. WATCH
One woman shouted "allow migrants into our country" and "refugees deserve sanctuary in Britain".
New Delhi: British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and home secretary Suella Braverman were heckled on Monday when they visited Essex town centre. The leaders were told to "go away" during a walkabout in an Essex town centre.
The incident took place when they were walking down Chelmsford high street with three police officers ahead of the launch of an anti-social behaviour drive.
One woman shouted "allow migrants into our country" and "refugees deserve sanctuary in Britain".
She also said, "Go away. We don't want you here."
The demonstration was a direct response to the UK government's measures to curb immigration via small boats. Despite the demonstrators' outcry, neither Rishi Sunak nor Suella Braverman reacted and continued to converse with the police officials.
A video capturing the incident has gone viral, displaying the demonstrators shouting while the British leaders carried on walking for around five minutes. Following this, Sunak proceeded to Chelmsford Boxing Club to discuss his plans to tackle anti-social behavior.
