The KHOODEELAAR campaign in defence of the Brick Lane E1 area and against the Crossrail hole has created the hottest political debate in the East End of London and beyond. The result is that sitting councillors on Tower Hamlets are now running desperate to keep their careers. They are now under pressure to tell the truth on how they let the Crossrail hole to be brought to attack the community

KHOODEELAAR! THE BRICK LANE LONDON E1 AREA CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE CROSSRAIL HOLE BILL has today put the following members of Tower Hamlets Council on notice that evidence in legal substantiation of claims they both made on a broadcast programme [26 January 2006] about their roles in opposing the Crossrail hole plan, would be demanded as part of the legal action in defence of the community that the KHOODEELAAR campaign has been preparing.

The councillors are

Cllr Akikur Rahman and
Cllr Helal Abbas


The extracts from the letter to them sent by KHOODEELAR on Saturday 4 February 2006 reads as follows,


“Dear Councillors Rahman and Abbas

You both made statements on a TV programme on a satellite TV Channel [‘Channel S’] which was broadcast on 26 January 2006 in which you both claimed, in your own ways, that both of you had supported the community’s opposition to the Crossrail hole plan/ scheme.

We have studied the contents of the rest of what you stated.

For now, we are putting this question to you both, and formally asking you to substantiate the assertions you made.

This is being put to you on legal advice.

Cllr Akikur Rahman said that he had been actively concerned about the need to let the community know for the past more than two years.

The question to Cllr Akikur Rahman on that assertion is this:

“Who did you speak to or write to or otherwise communicate with in the community ands on what date and with what result and with what evidence?

When you spoke at the meeting held at the Brady Centre on 22 January 2006, did you know that your statement would be subject to verification?

We are asking you on behalf of the KHOODEELAAR the BRICK LANE LONDON E1 AREA CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE CROSSRAIL HOLE to give us the answers to all the elements of the question here and to do so by not later than 1000 hrs on Tuesday 7 February 2006.

You must know that the recorded evidence of the Liberal Democratic Party is FOR the Crossrail plan including the hole plan and there is no evidence whatever anywhere so far that the Liberal Democratic Party on Tower Hamlets Council has supported the community in the opposition to the Crossrail hole.

Your reference to consultation is a diversionary one and given that you made that statement on a date after 22 January 2006 shows that you are less concerned about telling the truth than making a Party political point.

If we have got this factually wrong, please point to us what facts we have got wrong and we shall amend this statement. If we don’t get the evidence from you then you alone will be held responsible fro among the misleading statement that you have made on the matter in the two statements that we have referred to about your utterances.

Cllr Helal Abbas:

You claimed that the “Opposition” on the Council was not about real policy or action. We note that just for context. You said that no Labour councillor was in favour of the hole.

We are challenging you ion this on the facts.

Your entire record, as far as has been available on the public domain, is in conflict with your claim.

Your comments against the KHOODEELAAR campaigners, as reported in the EAST LONDON ADVERTISER on Thursday 28 October 2004, is also in conflict with your claim as made on Channel S as broadcast on 26 January 2006.

Do you agree or disagree?

If you agree then you must apologise to the community and withdraw the untruth ones of your statements from the two sets we have referred to here.


If you disagree then you must provide evidence in support of your continuing claim.

In either case, whatever you say will be included in evidence by KHOODEELAAR in the matter in our application to court and in our submission to the UK House of Commons and the UK House of Lords in due course.


Your only opportunity to discharge your duty to tell the truth and nothing but the truth is now and until 1000 Hrs ON Tuesday 7 February 2006.


Yours faithfully
