Asad Umar questioned whether the decision was taken on the basis of scientific evidence or foreign policy.
Earlier, the UK government had stated that the move to restrict entries of citizens from Bangladesh, Kenya, Pakistan and the Philippines was based on advice from public health experts as well as scientific data.
