What the petition asks
We as a whole community have made many sacrifices for the UK. It has been recognised by senior military officers that if we had not stood shoulder to shoulder in both world wars, the Germans could have won.
Punjabis have always given 100% to this country. Punjabis in the UK have begun peaceful rallies to show that we have made sacrifices and all we ask in return is for our own ethnicity category, to classify us as Punjabi. This really isn't much that we are asking for.
