The Metropolitan Police formally apologise.

Miri Piri Foundation thank the Metropolitan Police Commander, Mak Chishty for meeting with representatives of the Sikh community and noting our representations over the Policing methods utilised by officers against the Sikh community on Thursday 22nd October 2015.

Furthermore we acknowledge the clarification and apology provided regarding two of the representations submitted.

As a number of representations made by the Sikh community during the meeting on Wednesday 28th October 2015 remain to be addressed, we are optimistic that the Metropolitan Police will seek to address all outstanding issues in a responsible and amicable manner.

Surprising.

It's not a sincere apology. I notice there is no apology for removing the elderly Singh's dastaar and throwing it on the floor, this was clearly caught on camera.

Also the MET Police were informed before the protest not to interfere with articles of faith including kirpans, they are trying to make out they didn't know.

Most of the problems were the fault of poor preparation by the police , insufficient crowd control control cordons and barriers for the number of protestors, this is what caused overflow into the road.

They were probably trying to provoke a violent response from the crowd on purpose so that they can justify heavy handed tactics and discredit the protestors by alleging they were violent and aggressive.

Indian PM Modi us visiting the UK very soon the MET police are keen to show the Indian government that they are able to stamp out out dissent and anti indian government protests.

Recently when the China premier visited, MET police were very heavy handed with a pro democracy Chinese protestor a survivor of the Tianamin Square massacre, they also raided and searched his house... Just for protesting outside the Chinese embassy when the China premier was in the country.

Economic interests and trade deals will always come above human rights, justice and truth.

It's not often police apologise, especially to a minority community, we should accept

It's not often police apologise, especially to a minority community, we should accept

Then we play that old chestnut with authority where they do what they like, and afterwards go 'Oh, sorry we didn't know. We do apologise.'

And docile apnay go: 'Aaahh, they are so good.'

Then, when it suits them, they'll do it again.

Sikhs have the memory of goldfish when it comes to goray,

And they know it.

Thats wat these Metropolitan police r sayin, coz as a part of a fascist organisation, they know how to play all singhs, patel's and khan's. Perfom racist/fascist acts, then for apology time, they stick a person of the same colour to perform a sub-standard apology!

We Sikhs have a begging bowl mentality, this us another example of it, the most ironic thing of all was that the day before the protest the Met police were on the news asking for more minorities to join, way to go, join the police brown folk and you to will get the opportunity to randomly offend people of other religions because you couldn't be bothered to educate yourselves about what the law say's.

At least they apologised, try and get Punjab police to say sorry, you'll end up in Central Jail for 25 years.....

METROPOLITAN POLICE SERVICE ISSUE APOLOGY TO SIKHS

"The Sikh Federation (UK) representatives lead a Sikh Community delegation inc Sikh Council UK and other Sikh Orgs, that attended a meeting held on Wednesday 28 October at New Scotland Yard with the Police Commander Mac Chishty and Silver Commander Chief Superintendent Colin Morgan, to discuss the Sikh Lives Matter protest at the Indian High Commission on Thurs 22 Oct. Sikhs had traveled from all across the country and there was healthy balance of both elders and youth. All who spoke did so eloquently, articulately and with a view to a positive outcome.

Jas Singh, adviser to the Sikh Federation (UK) expressed the communities concerns and asked very relevant and pertinent questions for the MPS’s Policing strategy and conduct. A key demand was an unreserved and unconditional apology for the insult and offence caused by the disrespect shown to the Nishan Sahib (Sikh flag), Kirpan and Turbans by Officers.

We welcome this video apology from MPS Commander Mac Chishty and will be following up on a number of important issues in the coming days and weeks."
