Britain's longest-serving Indian-origin MP Keith Vaz announced his retirement from the parliament on Sunday. The 62-year-old decided to sign-off from his duties after the Commons Standards Committee recommended he should be handed a six-month suspension over cocaine and prostitute scandal. Vaz was found to have "expressed a willingness" to purchase cocaine for others during an encounter with male prostitutes.
