"I have known Nick for a long time and am deeply disappointed by his divisive comments. He needs to reflect carefully on his own words, Lord Ahmad told the Guardian."
"It's ironic that Nick has sought to defend what he said by referring to British values, because it is exactly the values of choice, of standing up for inclusion and freedoms, that have attracted people like me to the Conservative party."
Nick Timothy's remarks about public prayer have drawn criticism from Conservative peer Tariq Ahmad, who expressed disappointment and concern over the impact on British Muslims. Ahmad noted that some Muslims are considering leaving the Conservative party due to Timothy's divisive comments. He emphasized the need for Timothy to uphold principles of equality and justice, especially if he aspires to be lord chancellor. Ahmad also highlighted a rise in anti-Muslim hostility, contrasting Timothy's defense of his comments with the values of inclusion that should define the party.
