Labour party has come under fire from its own politicians for a series of ads it produced personally attacking UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and his wife Akshata Murty, daughter of N R Narayana Murthy, ahead of council elections on May 4. The series of controversial ads began on April 6 with a poster showing Sunak grinning and overlaid with the text “Do you think adults convicted of sexually assaulting children should go to prison? Rishi Sunak doesn’t.” The poster, tweeted from Labour’s official Twitter account, says: “Under the Tories, 4,500 adults convicted of sexually assaulting children under 16 served no prison time. Labour will lock up dangerous child abusers.” Twitter has added a community note pointing out that judges determine sentences, not the UK PM, and stating that the majority of convicted child rape offenders are locked up.
