>to destroy a western country?
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has claimed the new avenues for Indian migrants to Britain will “inject new energy” into the UK economy.
Amid growing anti-mass migration sentiment, in the wake of record-breaking years of illegal and legal migration to Britain, Indian PM Modi attempted to sell the benefits of importing more so-called “skilled workers” from India.
Appearing alongside Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in London to officially sign a post-Brexit trade deal, which created new carveouts for new work visas for both countries, the Indian leader said that “the UK’s economy would benefit from India’s skilled talent,” The Telegraph reported.
“This will inject new energy into the service sectors of both countries, especially in technology and finance,” Modi said. “It will promote ease of doing business, reduce cost of doing business and increase the confidence of doing business.”
The £25 billion deal has drawn criticism over the agreement on the “double contribution convention”, which will see some migrant workers from India being exempt from paying national insurance contributions in Britain — a secondary income tax — for three years, as they would continue to pay the tax in their homeland. The same would apply to whatever British workers might find themselves in India.
Critics, such as Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, claimed that this, in combination with the recent hike in national insurance payments from businesses employing workers in Britain, could potentially make it up to 20 per cent cheaper to hire Indian migrants than native Britons.
Business and Trade Secretary Jonathan Reynolds said that such claims were “completely false” and suggested that visa costs and the NHS surcharge for migrants would equalise the disparity.
