Lord Nazir Ahmed, a former federal Labour peer, was sentenced to five and a half years in prison on Friday for sexually abusing two children in the 1970s, according to UK media sources. Anti-India campaigns have been taken out by Ahmed. Last month, the Sheffield Crown Court found him guilty of sexual charges against two youngsters. Two counts of attempted rape and one count of buggery were found against him.

On Friday, Justice Lavender passed the sentence. Lord Ahmed was accused in March 2019 with previous sexual offences against two children, two counts of attempted rape, and one case of indecent assault dating back to the early 1970s. Ahmed faces allegations arising from two complainants, a boy and a girl, and alleged occurrences that occurred between 1971 and 1974. A boy under the age of 14 is charged with indecent assault.

He has been a vocal supporter of Khalistani terror groups as well as a critic of Indian policies. In truth, he used his position to sexually exploit Kashmiri women, despite portraying himself as a warrior for the Kashmir cause.

Nazir Ahmed was born in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir, but his political origins are in Rotherham, where he grew up and continues to reside. In 1969, he and his family travelled to the United Kingdom to join his father, who worked in a steel plant in Rotherham.

He became a property entrepreneur after studying at Sheffield Hallam University and running a series of shops in his hometown. In 1998, then-Prime Minister Tony Blair elevated him as one of the first Muslim peers to the House of Lords. In 2013, he resigned from the Labour Party. Lord Nazir Ahmed, who calls himself as a "campaigner for Kashmiris," resigned from the House of Lords in 2020 after facing many claims of sexual assault. He should have been dismissed, according to a House committee.

According to the committee report, a group of Kashmiri women in London organised a Hollywood-style #MeToo protest campaign against politicians such as Nazir Ahmed and faith healers who are exploiting vulnerable women in the Kashmiri community.
