London — Param Singh MBE, a British community leader and founder of City Sikhs, has been admitted to the Freedom of the City of London, one of the capital’s oldest civic traditions dating back more than 800 years.
Singh was nominated by Dhruv Patel CBE, businessman, founder of the City Hindus Network and a Liveryman of The Clothworkers’ Company. The creation of City Sikhs followed the earlier example of City Hindus, reflecting efforts to build professional networks bringing together people of different faith backgrounds working in the City of London. The recognition also reflects the growing contribution of British Asian professionals to the civic and commercial life of the City of London.
Singh said:
“For nearly two thousand years, since the days of Roman Londinium, people from many backgrounds have come to London to trade, work and contribute to civic life. That tradition continues today, with London recognised as one of the most faith-literate and welcoming places in the world to do business.” The Freedom of the City of London is a historic civic honour granted to individuals recognised for their contribution to the life of the City.
