British MP Lord Peter Hain has asked the UK's finance minister, Sajid Javid, to follow the US' lead and impose a series of debilitating sanctions against the Gupta family. He also asked Javid to request the authorities in India and Dubai to do the same. "Would you also please request the authorities in India and Dubai to impose the same sanctions?" They have now been blacklisted alongside almost 700 other individuals who committed "serious human rights abuse or engage in corruption". Hain wants the Guptas to be similarly sanctioned by the UK government.
