In this episode of the Blood Brothers Podcast, Dilly Hussain speaks with the Kashmiri activist, pro-Palestine campaigner and businessman from Birmingham, Shakeel Afsar.   Topics of discussion include:

• Gaza genocide and British government’s complicity.
• Punishing Labour and running as an independent parliamentary candidate in Birmingham Hall Green. Why now? Why independent and not Workers Party?
• Have critics or opposition raised anything about Shakeel’s firebrand activism on LGBTQ education, Hindutva and Kashmir?
• Tahir Ali MP was critical of Muslim parents protesting against RSE education, but he voted for a ceasefire. Should Labour MPs that voted for a ceasefire also be unseated and punished?
• The Muslim Vote’s mediation and management of the independent candidates split vote situation in Hall Green.
• What is Shakeel offering and promising constituents besides Gaza?
• Why should a non-Muslim in Hall Green who doesn’t care for Gaza vote for him?
