Kamal Nath is coming to the UK on 12 May 2010

Sikhs from the USA and Canada are urging us to get him banned - this will be complicated with the General Election on 6 May.

Please give your thoughts how we should deal with this - get him banned, protest etc.

As we have explained before - his arrest, prosecution are not practical and will not happen.

some kind of token protest outside the venue (about 100 or so people ) would be a good way to highlight the actiivties of the people attending to those others attending from other countries who may not be aware of his deeds.

other than that, what about the all parliamentary sikh group ? can they not do anything?

Appears a good location for a demonstration.

Lets aim for several hundred, although it is a week day.

Difficulty is currently there are no MPs - all candidates. All Party Parliamentary Group for UK Sikhs will formally come into existence towards the end of May, early June. However, suggest we contact as many MPs as possible after the 6 May General Election.

What happened to his summons in USA?

What happened to his summons in USA?

Sikhs in the US will no doubt shed light on this - I think he did not even respond to the US courts. Serving summons might of got the headlines, but not sure chances of success, but useful nonetheless!

We know it is very difficult to get such individuals arrested, let alone charged and convicted in the UK - under UK law.

In the UK there is a set process for gathering evidence, including witnesses and presenting this to a special unit in the Metropolitan Police who investigate, including interviews with witnesses and only then might they arrest. We have discussed this with groups like REDRESS & Human Rights Watch. There also needs to be the political will and desire - this is often lacking.

Neither of these are in place with an Indian Minister like Kamal Nath. Therefore, trying to get him excluded, protesting outside (that may result in disruption to the event) - involving groups like REDRESS, HRW, AI, UAF etc. protesting inside (Fee - £125 per person) - getting the mainstream media to highlighht why Sikhs and non-Sikhs are protesting would be a good step forward.

Let's try and make this a Sikh AND non-Sikh protest that is likely to be much more successful.

One thing to make sure of is a holocaust denier banner as big as possible outside the venue this should get the attention of the newspapers also call all newspapers and highlight that we are speaking up against a genocide denier the website for the genocides details should be LARGE so people are made aware of our plight the media is our friend.

Get the sikh channel on this to interview protestors and raise awareness in an impartial way.

i really like this idea! Provided the banner is very big and has a picture of Kamal Nath, it will definitely raise heads and get people curious about what's going on. Protesters should go with leaflets to hand out to any passers-by and not just be a standstill protest.

Get the sikh channel on this to interview protestors and raise awareness in an impartial way.

Another good idea, a TV crew will get people noticing the protest and help to raising awareness.
