Three Indians elected to EU parliament

LONDON: At least three persons of Indian origin are to be the Members of European Parliament (MEPs) in the ninth European Parliament.

Claude Moraes and Neena Gill who were first ever Indian-origin MEPs elected in 1999, retained their seats this time again. A new face Dinesh Dhamija, 69 years old multimillionaire, is elected to European Union Parliament (EUP) representing the Liberal Democrats.

Dinesh Dhamija bats for European Union. He argues, ‘Being part of EU gives better negotiating power. Collective GDP of EU is worth US$18 trillion a year far greater than UK’s just US $ 3 trillion. Brexit party did not win in London.
