Scotland Yard prepares to protect Narendra Modi


Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address a 60,000-strong Indian diaspora audience alongside British Prime Minister David Cameron at the Wembley Stadium on November 13. Therefore, with a number of protests planned during the visit, Scotland Yard has readied an "appropriate" policing plan. However, they have assured that there would be no restrictions as such that would be imposed on any London routes.
This has been reported in dnaindia.com dated 8 November 2015.
Scotland Yard has declined to comment in detail due to security reasons but have hinted that no restrictions on any London routes have been planned so far. This would mean that the protests are not likely to involve large crowds. The protests have been planned by Dalit rights group CasteWatchUK, Awaaz human rights network and South Asia Solidarity.
CasteWatchUK could organize a demonstration when the Indian Prime Minister inaugurates a new Ambedkar memorial in north London on November 14.
As to Awaaz Network, it has plans to have a 'Not In Our Name' protest.
yet another protest is being mobilised by British filmmaker Leslie Udwin demanding India to lift its ban on her documentary 'India's Daughter'.
The itinerary of the Prime Minister is believed to be as follows - he will arrive in London on November 12 and have lunch with Queen Elizabeth II along with a host of engagements with his British counterpart David Cameron.
