Solidarity Protest Opposite the Houses of Parliament London against police action
Brutal suppression of right to peaceful protest at Ramlila Maidan New Delhi India
India, the largest democracy of the world experienced the darkest night in the history of its evolution on Sunday, 5th of June 2011 at 1.00am.
Thousands of human beings along with Yoga Guru-Swami Ramdev assembled at a place where they thought they were absolutely safe. This false sense of safety was offered to them by the very same Government which encouraged them to gather there in the first place. But little did they know that in the middle of the night they would get brutally assaulted and forcefully removed by the Indian Police.
Every Indian citizen has a right to protest, but the Indian Government has unconstitutionally assaulted the peaceful protesters in blatant breach of Indian Citizen’s constitutional rights.
Here in the UK, Many NRI’s & PIO’s have been gravely saddened and concerned at the events in India. Sunita Poddar, member of AAC (Action Against Corruption) and Trustee of Patanjali Yog Peeth (UK) Trust said “We, the people of Indian Origin all over the world are deeply depressed, embarrassed and pained by this vulgar display of naked power. No justification of any kind can condone these vicious actions on the Indian Citizens”.
To show our solidarity we are holding a peaceful protest on Sunday, 19th June 2011 at the Old Palace Yard, opposite the Houses of Parliament, London, SW1P 3JY, from 12pm till 2.30pm. Over 2,000 protestors are expected to take part coming from all over the UK.
By holding this protest we would like to show our solidarity with the citizens of India. We would like to show our support to Baba Ramdev & Anna Hazare and all other leaders who are fighting against Corruption in India.
All protesters will be wearing black armbands as a sign of solidarity to the innocent people of India who on a day to day basis are being affected by corruption which is leading the country into poverty - "Corruption is the root cause of Poverty in India".
At precisely 1.00pm on Sunday (exactly 14 days and 12 hours after the assault took place on the Indian citizens) the Protestors will observe a 2 minute silence to remember our brothers, sisters, friends and relatives who were brutally hurt when the Indian Police raided their peaceful demonstration on 5th June.
