Britain MP Keith Vaz has called for the Kohinoor diamond to be returned to India during Indian prime minister Narendra Modi's visit to UK in November.
His comments come in response to Dr Shashi Tharoor's speech at the Oxford Union for Britain to pay reparations to India.
Vaz said, "I welcome Dr Tharoor's speech and the endorsement of its message by PM Modi. I share their views. These are genuine grievances which must be addressed. Pursuing monetary reparations is complex, time consuming and potentially fruitless, but there is no excuse for not returning precious items such as the Kohinoor diamond, a campaign I have backed for many years."
