First of all I'de like to thank everyone who showed up for the protest the kids, youth, and elders. Even with the extreme heat and smog advisary the protest was a extreme success. The organizers were only expecting about 100 ppl but sangatan showed up by packing about 6 school buses and the number extended to about 400 - 500 ppl.

Sangatan started arriving around 11:30 infront of the counsalate and started setting up. RCMP and Metro police officials came over and were quite helpful and cooperative. They asked what we were going to do and for what reason. With this we explained everything to them. They were very very cooperative. Around 12 we started the protest, young and old everyone was shouting out slogans. Around 12:30 we asked the RCMP officials to allow 5 ppl to go inside to hand a memorandum titled to PM Manmohan Singh, or have one of the officials inside the counsalate to come out and take it from us. The RCMP official after conversing with the counsalate members said that the counsalate members don't want to do either and that they, the RCMP officials have given the memorandum to Mr. Grover, the official incharge. WIth this we, obliged and thanked the officials for there part. We carried on the protest till about 1:45 and at that time a few speakers thanked the sangat that came out, and said a few words toward the GOI.

All in all the protest was a great start and success. By great start i mean, all organizations be it panthic org's or gurughars showed up in this event, all walking together. You really don't see that alot.

I want to thank United Sikh Federation for bringing out cold drinks and rooafza for the sangatan, being that it was very HOT.

For all the sangatan that could'nt come out we want to thank you too, we know everyone could'nt come out due to the fact this protest was held during the weekday, but we know that you still support the cause.

Also there will be a meeting this Saturday at Malton gurughar 6 in the evening to talk about the protest what went wrong and what we can change for the future.

We request everyone to come out and give your views.

In final i want to say that in these events know one person is the leader. Everyone takes a role. In this event 7 ppl were appointed to make this protest a success, if we did we'd like to thank the sangat and guru sahib for that, and if we made any mistakes, we ask guru sahib and sangat bhul chuk maaf. Also we request, if anyone wants to take on future roles pls come out and help us plan on for future events.

GREAT WORK!

You will always have the support of the Sikh Federation (UK) for this type of event.

Young Sikh (UK) will be taking the lead in organising something for Sunday 30 October - Rally in central London on 21st anniversary of Nov 84. It would be great to have simultaneous events across the world - highlighting the lack of justice for Sikhs in India.

Then there is June 2006 - where we should also have simultaneous events led by the Sikh youth.
