British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has summoned the Scotland Yard chief for a meeting to hold him “accountable” for policing plans for protests over the coming Remembrance weekend when Britain commemorates its World War martyrs.
As per PTI report, Met Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley has stated that there is no absolute power to ban the right to peaceful protest in the country, and a planned pro-Palestinian demonstration calling for an immediate ceasefire in the Israel-Gaza conflict will go ahead on Saturday.
Sunak has previously called on the police to take the requisite action against “provocative and disrespectful” protests as the UK marks Armistice Day on November 11 – a sombre occasion held annually when commemorative wreaths are laid at the war memorials on Whitehall near Downing Street.
