Westminster London Protest Against Indian Government crackdown on Sleeping Protestors 4-5 June 2011 night Ramlila Maidan New Delhi India

Westminster London Protest Against Indian Government crackdown on Sleeping Protestors 4-5 June 2011 night Ramlila Maidan New Delhi
On 19 July about 2000 Non Resident Indians and persons of India origin based in UK, as well as students studying in UK colleges staged a rally and meeting opposite the British Houses of Parliament.
This was to protest the naked abuse of political power by the government of India in evicting sleeping protestors making use of their right to protest against corruption and graft in high places in Indian government and political order.
It was also to highlight attention on the sad practice of rich Indians stashing unaccounted and untaxed money, away from India, in tax havens outside India in offshore bank accounts.
India has become the fastest growing and key market for global investment banks targeting high net worth citizens in poor and developing countries looking for wealth management solutions and to invest money and wealth in offshore bank accounts.
It is ironic that compared to the fear that Indians had of being evicted from Ramlila Maidan New Delhi in their own country, the protest faced no such political threats from British police or politicians.

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 and Indian students have been gravely saddened and concerned at the events in democratic India where people from one religious denomination are being branded as communal when they protest against corruption in high places and the stashing away of wealth by Indian citizens in foreign offshore bank accounts outside the jurisdiction of the Indian Parliament and investigative agencies.
