Lib Dem Councillor hoists Pakistani flag Quote:
Rochdale Conservatives are to complain to the Council's Chief Executive at the appearance of Councillor Peter Evans, the Mayor of Rochdale, in a photograph in the Lib Dems latest political leaflet.
Conservative Ian Duckworth said: "Councillor Evans appears in a photograph of the raising of the Pakistan flag on Pakistan Independance Day flanked by Lib Dem councillors Naim Mahmud, Zulf Ali and Paul Rowen MP. There can be no ambiguity as to Councillor Peter Evans role as he is described in the caption as Mayor and is wearing his chain of office.
"This is the worst breach of protocol I have ever seen and the Lib Dems must be fully aware that this is the case, if not, they are so ignorant as to be unfit to represent the electorate.
"The whole thing smacks of their desperation to garner the ethnic vote and they must be calculating that any punishment is worth the cost to Councillor Evans and the Lib Dems.
"As first citizen of out town, Councillor Evans should be above politics.
This is just another example of the Lib Dems political philosphy of 'the end justifies the means'."...........
