The program began after Rajesh Raman recited Sugatha Kumari’s poem, Rathri Mazha. The protest was organized by a few Malayalees living in London under the leadership of Umar Kottackal, Manambur Suresh, Mini Raghavan, Jose Anthony, Dijeo Saviour, etc.

However, midway through the program, a few Iranian religious fanatics tried to disrupt the protests. A few other Iranians who supported the protests began to engage in verbal duels with the religious fanatics. This led to the protest being called off. Thus, the protests that was planned to start at 2 pm and end at 5 pm, had to wind up by 3.15 pm.
