AN MP allegedly shouted to Bolton MP Yasmin Qureshi to ‘go home’ while she was speaking in Parliament about an area close to her Pakistani birthplace.

Labour's Ms Qureshi, who represents Bolton South East, was aiming a question at Theresa May during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday regarding the disputed Kashmir region in northern India, when it is alleged that another Member of the house uttered the phrase ‘go home.’

Ms Qureshi, who recently became Labour’s shadow justice minister, was born in Pakistan, a country which borders the Kashmir region and was speaking about the plight of people living in the war-torn region.

Ricoh Gill, who lives in Brighton and regularly listens to Prime Minister’s Questions, said: "At 31:19 on Wednesday’s PMQs, I believe a male voice can be heard telling Yasmin Qureshi to "Go home" immediately after she says "the Kashmiri people", while she addresses her concerns over issues in Kashmir.

“Considering Ms Qureshi is originally from Pakistan, this seems like an incredibly ugly (not to mention unoriginal) comment for a parliamentary colleague of hers to have made.

“Perhaps whoever said it feels emboldened in his bigotry following the EU vote.

“At any rate, speaking out of turn is an incredibly bad example to set, as it is the kind of behaviour that our schoolchildren are strongly discouraged from."

Ms Qureshi, who is away from her office and unable to watch footage of the alleged incident, said: “I did not hear it at the time and have not had a chance to watch PMQs back yet.

“Obviously if that phrase has been aimed at me by a fellow Member of Parliament then that is wholly inappropriate, deplorable and very worrying.”

A spokesman for the office of House of Commons Speaker John Bercow said: “The Speaker's office has yet to receive a representation on this matter. If a complaint from a Member is received, it will be looked in to."
