Scotland’s Muslim Minister of Europe and International Development has been sworn into the new session of the Scottish Parliament, with the Pakistani-oricin Humza Yousaf choosing to take the oath to Her Majesty the Queen in his native language of Urdu.

Mr. Yousaf – who is on the hard left of his already strongly left-wing nationalist political party – recently commented that the majority of his party would like to see the abolition of the monarchy, and has previously been a spokesman for Islamic Relief, the charity behind the new “Glory to Allah” bus ads in London.

The swearing in ceremony took place on Thursday at Holyrood, the Scottish Parliament.

The Washington Post called his Urdu swearing in process as “an emphatic demonstration of British multiculturalism”, while Mr. Yousaf shot back at critics by stating that he took the oath in English first, and therefore there was no cause for concern.

Mr. Yousaf also tweeted a picture of his family in the parliament with him:

Don't get to spend enough time with my family so v pleased to have them in @ScotParl yesterday with me :) pic.twitter.com/1b8dCQOswb — Humza Yousaf (@HumzaYousaf) May 13, 2016

Breitbart London has previously reported on the activities and beliefs of Mr. Yousaf, who has surged up the rankings to be one of the most influential left-wingers in the United Kingdom.

Previously, Mr. Yousaf has complained about receiving ‘Islamophobic’ tweets as a result of a Breitbart London article that simply reported his own wishes for Scotland. He is also known for his work in anti-Israel activism.
