Gorton MP Afzal Khan expressed his outrage on Twitter saying that he was “angered” after the “appalling behavior” on display by some people celebrating Pakistan’s Independence Day on Friday in Rusholme’s Curry Mile.

To those who came from outside Manchester, knowing full well the COVID situation across our region, your choice to visit Rusholme last night increases the danger of spreading the virus further here and at your home. You should be ashamed – you have put your loved ones at risk.
