Below we publish the statement issued by the Indian Workers’ Association (Great Britain)

THE Indian Workers’ Association (Great Britain) condemns the disgraceful attack on the Indian High Commission and disrespect of the national flag of the Republic of India.

IWA GB position on the defence of unity and integrity of India, upholding democracy and secularism is well established.

We stand in solidarity with the people of India to uphold the constitution.

IWA will always fulfill its patriotic duty to provide a voice for the toiling masses of India against authoritarianism.

We will continue to exercise people’s democratic right to protest, which the IWA has done since 1938. This does not excuse extremists or condone communal fundamentalists to attack Indian institutions, the symbols of India’s independent status gained through the sacrifices of freedom fighters like Shaheed-e- Azam Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev.
