Government apology to India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh

What the petition asks
We believe that the Government should give the people of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh the long overdue apology they deserve, for the many lives that were lost due to the brutality of the British regime over 190 years, see Jallianwala Bagh in 1919, the Bengal famines of 1770 AND 1943.
It’s been 78 years since British rule ended. Yet, Britain has never issued an official, remorseful apology. We believe the people of India, Pakistan and Bangladesh deserve a long overdue apology for what they suffered through.
