Summary British parliamentarians have called for ban on visit of Ghulam Ahmed Bilour to UK.

The British parliamentarians have called for ban on visit of Pakistani Minister for Railways Ghulam Ahmed Bilour to UK, who offered to pay $100,000 (£61,600) to anyone who killed the maker of a film that has caused anger in many Muslim countries.According to Daily Telegraph, the minister is a regular visitor to London, where he and his brothers spend large parts of the year in family properties.Conservative MPs want Mrs May to consider whether Mr Bilour should be prevented from coming to Britain because his presence would not be “conducive to the public good”.One MP said: “Ministers should be looking at this. We don’t want extremists like that coming into the country.”Another said: “We just can’t have people who incite violence in this way in Britain.”Whitehall officials said the comments could affect Mr Bilour’s ability to visit the UK. The Home Office said it was aware of the comments.
