Surrey Rally against Bill C-24

Radical Desi and People’s Voice have decided to organize a rally against
Bill C-24 which is the latest of the series of assaults launched by the
Tories on Saturday July 5, 2014 at Surrey’s Holland Park (close to the
King George Highway and 100 Avenue) at 5 pm.

The Conservative government has passed a controversial bill in the name of
strengthening the citizenship which in reality gives absolute power to the
immigration minister to revoke citizenship of new Canadians. It’s a
warning sign for those who have dual citizenships and therefore we need to
raise our voice against such draconian law which is highly uncalled for.

While on one hand this government has apologized for the Komagata Maru
incident that happened 100 years ago, on the other it continues to attack
the rights of the immigrants by making it harder for them to bring their
parents and grandparents to Canada, by making citizenship test difficult
and challenging and opening doors for temporary foreign workers – who are
vulnerable to exploitation.

All the progressive groups are invited to join us for the vigil. Also get
free copies of Radical Desi and People’s Voice on this occasion. We are
delighted to announce that both publications have brought out special
Komagata Maru centenary editions with strong message against the ongoing
social injustices in Canada and elsewhere.
