Several thousand people are expected to converge on PM David Cameron’s residence in Downing Street as the Prime Minister meets with his Indian counterpart Narendra Modi.

Members of the South Asia Solidarity Group said they will be 'protesting about Modi’s systematic human rights abuses and promotion of a fascistic politics of hatred in India, as demonstrated by the wave of attacks on Muslims, Christians, and on Dalits'.

A statement from the group read, "We will also be protesting Modi’s economic policies in which labour laws are being swept aside, trade unions crushed, campaigning NGOs banned, and foreign and Indian corporates given a free hand to plunder and destroy the environment and indulge in massive human rights abuses.

"In this context we also condemn the role of David Cameron in shamelessly promoting the interests of British corporates – the new East India Companies being welcomed by Modi – whatever the cost to the Indian people. For example planned deals on military aviation will facilitate state terror against India’s own people in regions such as Chhattisgarh, Manipur and Kashmir."

The protests will see people attending from across the country including Coventry, Birmingham, Nottingham, Crawley, Bradford, Southall and all over London.

They include the biggest Dalit organisation in the UK, Castewatch, and human rights, women’s and student groups, in addition to community organizations and groups of all faiths.

The protest has been called by a coalition of organizations including South Asia Solidarity Group, who have come together under the banner of the Awaaz Network.
