Khoodeelaar! campiagn against Crossrail hole Tower Hamlets Council

©Muhammad Haque | 13.06.2006 09:00 | Social Struggles | London

As the House of Commons 'Select committee' on the 'Crossrail Bill' hears formal presentation of objections from several individuals and local groups in the Brick Lane and Whitechapel area in the Portcullis House, in Westminster, London SW1starting at 1000 Hrs [0900 GMT] today [13 June 2006], the Khoodeelaar! Campaign is gearing up its pressure on the 'new' Tower Hamlets Council, which has been the single most culpable 'democratic entity' that has touted against the local community and has brought upon the Eats End the massive threat of the Crsosrail attacks. The only democratic and constitutional defence of the community should have been a democratically elected body, the local council! Instead, it is the grassroots community based Khoodeelaar! That has had to be established to defend the community against the treachery and betrayal of the Blaired local council! The battle continues!

No to CrossRail-hole Tower Hamlets Council programme Tues 13 June
Khoodeelaar publishes second Motion for the full Council meeting on June 21
On Monday 12 June 2006, Khoodeelaar! The Brick Land and Whitechapel London E1 Area campaign against the Crossrail hole Council delivered the first of a new series of Open Letters to Tower Hamlets councillors. They also included the texts of a draft motion for the full meeting of Tower Hamlets Council scheduled to be held on 21 June 2006.
The demand for Tower Hamlets Council to Say No to CrossRail is the continuation of the demand made by the Khoodeelaar! campaign meeting held on 22 January 2006 which was supported by more than 1000 people who turned up to back the campaign against the CrossRail attack on the Brick Lane London E1 area.
Today’s Khoodeelaar! Campaign activities also include the publication of the latest Khoodeelaar! exposé of the Crossrail-hole-plot backing controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council – and an updated analysis of that clique’s lies for Crossrail as confirmed before the ‘select committee’ on the ‘Crossrail Bill’.
• The Khoodeelaar! Letter to Tower Hamlets Councillors being published today [Tuesday 13 June 2006] will include the following legal and constitutional points:-
• That Khoodeelaar! will take individual councillors to court – when the series of court actions is commenced as soon as possible after the conclusion of the current formal meetings of the ‘Hosue of Commons Crossrail Bill select committee – and that the key ground against the particular councillors will be their roles in either misleading the community or making misleading communications or comments or statements to or about the community and for the CrossRail hole plan scehgeeme project Bill
a. b. That Khoodeelaar! will support and where necessary initiate the full and comprehensive investigation of electoral fraud and offences that might have been committed at the 4 May 2006 elections.
The idea behind the Khoodeelaar! campaign has been a deeply moral and a highly constitutional one – to apply all the known and commonly perceived concepts of democratic representation by causing all holders of public office in the locality to acknowledge their duties in context and to actively engage in delivering the representation that they are in office to deliver.
In the campaign activities focussing on the Crossrail hole-inviting Tower Hamlets Coucnil, we are today publishing details of the meeting of the Council ‘cabinet’ held on 6 October 2004.
That meeting was observed by over fifteen members of the various local groups opposed to the Crossrail hole plan. During that meeting, the then chair of Tower Hamlets Council’s regeneration committee or the ‘lead member’ for ‘regeneration’ made a number of statements that were described by the CBRUK Central Executive council as misleading.
CBRUK Central wrote to the Council’s chief executive Christine Gilbert putting on the record the organisation’s objections to the statements and role of Michael Keith. Christine Gilbert took her time ands did not reply until late in October 2004. When she did reply, she claimed that the interpretation by CBRUK Central of Michael Keith’s statement/s had been inaccurate.
She asserted that she knew because she was present at the meeting concerned and that she also had seen the minutes of the meeting. When Cbrukcentral asked Gilbert to let them have a copy of the alleged version of the alleged minutes, Gilbert failed to deliver. That failure was not exceptional.
Throughout her time in the post of chief executive – a post she occupied after being eased into it by Michael Keith who had played a decisive role in Gilbert’s appointment to the post for which a better candidate was rejected – Gilbert persistently defied the democratic requirements and let the community stay in the dark about all crucial decisions that he took for the controlling clique. Of all the damaging acts, her role in prompting the Crossrail hole attack on the East End has been the most far-reaching one confirming the Big Business and City of London agenda to uproot the community out of its home and to make the East End ready for takeover
…The Khoodeelaar! movement is here to help defeat that assault and betrayal.

Khoodeelaar! guidance for George Galloway on Crossrail hole attacks

13.06.2006 15:20

© Muhammad Haque / Khoodeelaar/ CBRUK /Lawmedia 2006
This is 1522 Hrs in London on Tuesday 13 June 2006.

I have just spoken again in the last five minutes to one of your RESPECT party members while walking down the Hanbury Street. He rushed off saying that he had another urgent matter to attend to. He said he was due to speak to you in a matter of minutes about the CrossRail Bill.

I had told him that Khoodeelaar! had waited for a long time to hear about what you as the local MP and as the RESPECT party were doing to support the campaign against Crossrail.

Over the past few months, in fact since I first met you as the local MP on 30 January 2006, we have heard so many claims about who was doing what 'in the community' about the Crossrail threat that it is time to put the very serious concerns caused by those false and misleading assertions in a new updated version of questions to uyou. I hope this will focus your attention at least on what we are inter4sted in seeing you do as the local MP.

First of all I record, for the n'th time that I have heard you personally speak unequivocally against Crossrail and over the past 160 days I have chronicled your comments and role as accurately as any of your eols ahs eveber been done by anyone other than by yourself.

As compared to your personal statements of opposition to Crossrail, there have been far too many statements and comments and claims made by persons that are either identifiable as members of your party or those who have made statements while uttering the words as spokespersons for your party.

ALL those statements have fallen short of what the Khoodeelaar! campaign has stood for against CrossRail.

ALL those statements and comments have been in conflict with the position as identifiable by reference to your statements on Crossrail

What is the reasons for this conflict?

If you disagree that there is and has been this conflict then please cite on which ones you are maintaining this stance and I shall be more than willing to provide you with chapter and verse showing how very wide the gulf has been between your stated position against Crossrail and the positions as stated by those speaking as your RESPECT party personnel.

I also recall that on 9 April 2006 you said that a special brochure against Crossrail had been produced and that it would be available in the community immediately.

I have asked for a copy of that and none has been either shown to me or referred top in any statements by anyone from your party to me in the last two months.

Please state what happened to that brochure and if it was shelved then why.

Now, what you need to realise as the local MP is that there is very serious anxiety about what exactly you are doing to defend the local community against the CrossRail programme.

Over the period since 17 January 2006 when I launched the very first public defence of you in the Brick Lane area as against the Blaring media blitz that was sweeping the country against you over your participation in the Channel 4 programme concerned, I have spoken to hundreds of people on the subject of your role in opposing CrossRail. In the past fortnight we in the Khoodeelaar! camapgn organisation has had cause to go over every single political component that is relevant in the defence of the community against the corrupt Crossrail hole-backing Tower Hamkest Council. We also have noted the statement made in the name of your party on 2 June 2006 on the satellite TV station called Bangla TV That statement was the same statement in supporting Crossrail as had been the statements of Michael Keith, Helal Abbas, and the Tories and the Liberals.

So, here are the most pressing questions at the moment and on the subject of your role and your practical plans about identifying with the Khoodeelaar campaign against teh Crossrail attack on the community.

1. Have you collected your thoughts on the matter as you prepare to address the select committee on Wednesday?

2. If you have, what are the key points you are going to make and what evidential basis?

3. Who apart from Khoodeelaar! would you say has been truthfully, consistently, significantly and emphatically active in a campaigning mode and with campaigning organisation against Crossrail? I ask this because I want to know whether it is apparent to you that a stooge outfit was underway at the behest of the corrupt elements in control of Tower Hamlets Council which was set up to sabotage our campaign of opposition to Crossrail

4. What progress if any have you made in getting across to the two satellite TV stations as to why their obstructions to anti-Crossrail campaigners and their promotions of and touting for pro-Crossrail council was wrong and that it was against the existing broadcasting regulation guidelines and codes/

5. What steps have you taken or prepared to take that you can actually back the objective of defusing the main arguments that the promoters of the plan have confected?

6. You stated on 7 March 2006 that you had not been able to speak on the matter as you were a petitioner.

7. Now that the petition is being formally introduced by you at the scheduled session tomorrow, what can you tell the community now that you will be saying tomorrow against Crsosrail and in tangible and lasting solidarity with the community that faces the attacks under the CrossRail programme?
