No One From PM’s Electoral Office Meets or Accepts Protestors’ Memorandum
Indian Weekender
November 29, 2022
It may be noted that despite public knowledge that a protest was being planned, the electoral office was closed with no staff to answer the door. Community leaders had planned to hand over a memorandum to Prime Minister through her office.
Despite people knocking on the door, there was no one in the office to receive the memorandum, which disappointed the community leaders and those at the protest. especially since the murder took place in the Prime Minister’s electorate.
The community leaders said they had now decided to e-mail the memorandum to the Prime Minister’s office.
As for support from the political parties, the ACT Party was represented by its leader David Seymour and deputy leader, Brooke van Velden. Interestingly, not even a single sitting MP from the National Party was present at the protest. However, former National Party MP Kanwaljit Singh Bakshi was present. There was also former NZ First MP Mahesh Bindra lending his support.
Media were also present in full force at the event, including the ethnic media. The presence of Chinese media members in numbers reflected the high interest in the protest, as the increasing crime continues to adversely affect the entire business and migrant community of New Zealand.
Handling protests in the usual Labour manner. Hunker down and wait for the media to take care of them.
