Boris Johnson appears to confuse India farmers’ protests with Pakistan conflict

Guardian, 10 Dec 2020
Boris Johnson made a parliamentary gaffe where he appeared to confuse massive farmers’ protests that have closed down swathes of India with the ongoing conflict between India and Pakistan.
Sikh Labour MP Tanmanjeet Singh Dhesi asked the prime minister to comment on the demonstrations in India, but Johnson appeared confused over the protests that Dhesi was referring to and responded: 'Our view is that of course we have serious concerns about what is happening between India and Pakistan but these are pre-eminently matters for those two governments to settle'
