Afzal Khan MP @Afzal4Gorton@respublicae.eu

In Parliament, I presented a petition calling on the Govt to formally adopt

definition of Islamophobia.
The Govt has repeatedly refused to engage on adopting a definition, let alone laying out a plan to tackle it. British Muslims deserve better 👇

I'm so proud of Rusholme residents who have spearheaded a project to plant hundreds of trees across Rusholme. I planted #1 in Birchfields Park in 2021, and last weekend joined as Professor Sarah Underwood, from MMU, planted #470.

R to @Afzal4Gorton: Now they've got even bigger plans! Over the next few years, they plan to plant 4,700 tree across the new Manchester Rusholme constituent in Ardwick, Hulme, Moss Side, Fallowfield, Rusholme and Whalley Range wards - and this weekend I planted the first one!

Pleased to sponsor the launch of this report in Parliament.
Solar energy is hugely important in tackling climate change, but the solar supply chain is linked to forced labour amongst Uyghur Muslims. It's important the UK builds a green & resilient solar supply chain.

18 years ago, I co-founded the Muslim-Jewish Forum of Greater Manchester with the aim of doing just that and I am incredibly proud of what the forum has achieved so far.

If we had a ceasefire yesterday, 144 Gazan children would still be alive today.
History has shown us that military actions alone cannot resolve conflicts. Israel’s use of force will not resolve this one.
