On August 15, a large banner has been installed at the Westminster bridge in London demanding PM Modi’s resignation.
The diaspora group spearheading the event alleged that under the current government, India had normalised violence against religious minorities and the Dalits.
“As India’s 75th Independence Day dawns, the country’s secular Constitution lies in tatters. Communal and caste violence stalk the land. Thousands of political prisoners languish in COVID-infected prisons, and hundreds of thousands of people are grieving the loss of their loved ones as a result of the callous negligence and mismanagement of the Coronavirus crisis”, Mukti Shah of the South Asia Solidarity said in a written statement.
The organisers of this event pointed out violence against the Muslim community, sexual violence against Dalit women and girls, corporate dominance of agriculture, crackdown on dissenters, and tampering with EVMs and ballot boxes as some of the features of the rule of Mr. Modi.
