We are grateful to @scotlibdems and @agcolehamilton for joining us at our Chai & Hustings. They didn't just listen; they took those constiuent stories back to the drafting table.

We are moved to see the formal inclusion of Hinduphobia in their manifesto a powerful acknowledgment that our community’s safety and dignity matter.

While we celebrate this milestone, the journey is far from over.

To all stakeholders We remain ready to collaborate, educate, and bridge the gaps in understanding.
