Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do, but the Government isn't responsible for arrangements for religious holidays. Decisions about permits for public gatherings to celebrate a religious holiday would be a matter for individual local authorities.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:
