Cameron had his hands folded for a brief period as he

paid obeisance inside the sanctum sanctorum of the Golden Temple, which attracts a large number of devotees cutting across faiths from different parts of the world. Notably, Sikhs constitute a large segment of Indian origin people who are settled in the UK. Cameron is also scheduled to visit the historic Jallianwala Bagh, which is located close to the Temple. At the Jallianwala Bagh, hundreds of Indians were killed in 1919 on the orders of the then British General Dyer. Around 3,000 police personnel from six districts have been deployed along with other forces, as part of the tight security arrangements, which includes Israel-trained Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) team. Snipers have also positioned themselves on the rooftops of the buildings situated in the vicinity of the Golden Temple, Jallianwala Bagh and at other spots from where Cameron's cavalcade is to pass. Forces in plainclothes have also been deployed at numerous points in the city as part of beefed up security arrangements, police sources said. Yesterday, security agencies had carried out a mock drill in view of Cameron's visit. Meanwhile, President of Jallianwala Bagh Shaheed Parivar Samiti, Bhushan Behal, has demanded that the British Prime Minister should tender an apology for the 1919 massacre, "which will not only assuage the feelings of patriots and relatives of the victims, but will also confirm condemnation of brutal acts on innocent people by a British general".
