London: Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has sacked his home secretary Suella Braverman over her sharp criticism of Police amid the ongoing Pro-Palestine rallies in the United Kingdom reported Reuters.
Sunak had been under pressure to get rid of Braverman after her article in the Times UK that criticised the Metropolitan Police for allegedly going soft on certain radical elements in Pro-Palestine rallies.
According to Reuters, the UK Home Secretary accused the police of applying a "double standard" to rallies, particularly pro-Palestinian marches, in an opinion piece published before a pro-Palestinian march on Saturday.
Braverman, a likely contender for the Conservative Party's future leader, had consistently denounced the tens of thousands of demonstrators who have assembled in London since Hamas's attack on Israel last month. The rallies have been dubbed "hate marches" and "mobs" by Braverman.
Braverman has been long known to make controversial statements for national security, or police, according to Reuters.
