Indian-Origin MP Suella Braverman Appointed UK Home Secretary In Liz Truss Cabinet

ABP News  

London, Sep 6 : Suella Braverman, an Indian-origin barrister, was on Tuesday appointed as the UK’s new Home Secretary, succeeding fellow colleague of Indian descent Priti Patel. Braverman was named as the Home Secretary by newly-appointed Prime Minister Liz Truss. "I want to embed the opportunities of Brexit and tidy up the outstanding issues… and cut taxes,” said Braverman, a prominent member of the pro-Brexit wing of the Conservatives who wants a clear break from Europe, including taking the UK out of the European Court of Human Rights. The Cambridge University law graduate married Rael Braverman in 2018 and her maternity leave famously brought about an overdue legal change last year to allow her to remain a Cabinet minister while away to give birth to their second child.
