KHOODEELAAR! Action diagnosis on the touting role played by the controlling clique on Tower Hamlets Council for Big Biz looters of public resources.
This updater includes a link to the Tower Hamlets Council's twisted record of the way it actually suppressed debate on its role in INVITING the Big Biz agenda assault on the East End of London. That Assault has been foiled by the Khoodeelaar! Campaign defending the community.
However, the AGENDA of the Big Biz Crossrail scam remains unaltered and the community will be attacked again by other means.
We start this particular diagnostic by reproducing the Tower Hamlets Council's own bureaucratic record of a formal motion as put to the so-called 'Full Council' on Wednesday 01 March 2006 by then [Weavers Ward] Councillor Louise Alexander [not a Councillor at the time of writing, as far as known to the AADHIKAR Media Foundation publishing this report in the morning of Saturday 28 August 2010].

Motion from Councillor Louise Alexander regarding Crossrail
“Cllr Louise Alexander
Seconder: Cllr Akik Rahman
This Council confirms that:
It is this Council’s duty to protect the community’s rights not to suffer damage to the environment, health and business.
This Council categorically rejects:
· Any Crossrail intervention shaft in the Brick Lane London E1 area, as contained in the present Crossrail Bill in the House of Commons;
· Crossrail plans for an additional tunnel surfacing in Allen Gardens;
· The use of a conveyor belt to take spoil to dump in Mile End Park; and
· The unsubstantiated, uneconomic and wasteful provision of a Crossrail station at Whitechapel which will necessitate digging an evacuation shaft in the Brick Lane London E1 area
This Council resolves to:
· Use the strongest possible terms when this Council presents the arguments and the evidence in support of any previously-submitted formally-timed petition to the Crossrail Select Committee in the House of Commons.
· Lobby within political parties and for the active attention of the Government to represent the interests of the residents of this Borough. This Council undertakes to take action in court and constitutionally to maintain, establish, reinstate and protect the community's right not to suffer the damage to environment, health and business which will be brought about by having an intervention shaft in this area”.
