A British politician said she was fired from a ministerial job in Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Conservative government partly because her Muslim faith was making colleagues uncomfortable, it is reported.
Ms Ghani said, in response, that the Conservative Party complaint process was "very clearly not appropriate" because her dismissal related to her position in the government, rather than in the party.
Recent scandals have drained public support from both Mr Johnson personally and his party, presenting him with the most serious crisis of his premiership. It is disappointing that when this issue was raised before Ms Ghani declined to refer the matter to the Conservative Party for a formal investigation.
