- Reform UK Party (UK)UNFORTUNATE TURN OF EVENTS FOR ME Yahoo/Sent  Shantanu Panigrahi From:shantanupanigrahi@yahoo.com To:Reformparty Info Sat, 27 Apr at 10:15  To Reform Party  Dear Colleagues in Reform UK Party  I have taken aboard what you wrote to me yesterday but I feel that there has been some mix-up of communications between the Party and myself and in respect of this I sought advice from the Attorney General that is acknowledged only on Auto Reply without any substantive response: FrAttorneyGeneral'sOffice(Thank you for contacting the Attorney General)26April2024.docx.  Having considered thus, I still wish to retain my membership of the Reform UK Party because there is work to be done to make the United Kingdom a better place to live in in what I consider would be a long-term project.  So, if it is not too late kindly endorse the Certificate of Membership of Reform Party.pdf attached, and reverse the refund that you have made or let me pay back to Reform UK another £50 for this membership.  I thank you for your kind consideration, and I know it is a Saturday but if you would be so kind as to reply today I would be grateful.  Yours sincerely  Dr Shantanu Panigrahi 3 Hoath Lane Wigmore Gillingham Kent ME8 0SL United Kingdom Tel: 07967789619 Download all attachments as a zip file  (a) FrAttorneyGeneral'sOffice(Thank you for contacting the Attorney General)26Apr2024.docx 15.2kB (b) Certificate of Membership of Reform UK Party.pdf  1.9MB  (a) Thank you for contacting the Attorney General’s Office Inbox from:   Correspondence (AGO) <AGO.Correspondence@attorneygeneral.gov.uk> to:         Shantanu Panigrahi <shanpanigrahi3000@gmail.com> date:    26 Apr 2024, 21:11 subject:              Thank you for contacting the Attorney General’s Office mailed-by:        attorneygeneral.gov.uk Signed by:         attorneygeneral.gov.uk security:            Standard encryption (TLS) Learn more  Thank you for contacting the Attorney General’s Office (AGO).

- Liberal Democrats (UK)APPEAL TO ENGLISH APPEALS PANEL TO REJOIN LIBERAL DEMOCRATS Yahoo/Sent  Shantanu Panigrahi From:shantanupanigrahi@yahoo.com To:Standards Officer Sat, 27 Apr at 11:23 To Standards Officer Liberal Democrats  Dear Sir/Madam,  Please find attached revised EAP_FORM as required: LiberalDemocratsEAP_FORM(1)SecondSubmission27Apr2024.docx.  Yours sincerely  Dr Shantanu Panigrahi 3 Hoath Lane Wigmore Gillingham Kent ME8 0SL United Kingdom Tel: 07967789619      LiberalDemocratsEAP_FORM(1)SecondSubmission27Apr2024.docx    23.3kB    ENGLISH PARTY  ENGLISH LIBERAL DEMOCRATS APPEALS PANEL We understand that you may wish to appeal to the above panel. In order that we may first decide whether we are the right body to consider the issue you wish to raise, we ask that you complete the form below as succinctly as possible.  1.           Name: Dr Shantanu Panigrahi                    Address: 3 Hoath Lane                               Telephone: Wigmore, Gillingham, Kent, ME8 0SL, United Kingdom                   E-mail: shantanupanigrahi@yahoo.com                      Party Membership Number: 24041198559  2.           The details of the Party body or officer/s with whom you are in dispute (with names as necessary): Mr Paul Farthing and South East Region officials JE Castle, Anna Tarrant and Lynn Ibeji, Mr Mike Dixon CEO   3.           The grounds for your proposed appeal (n.b. the Panel will not simply re-hear your case): When I decided to rejoin the Liberal Democrats Party on joined on 1 April 2024, all seemed to be well with my Membership and I was granted access to the Campaign Hub, but later on I received an email from Mr Paul Farthing that My Rejoining the Party had to be subjected to scrutiny by the local party in the South East Region because apparently during my previous membership (Membership No: 22071144662, I had sent communications to the local members above that were inappropriate in content and so my rejoining the Party was ‘flagged’. No details had ever been provided but the background to the dispute is that I was suffering from heavy trolling that I considered to be MI5/MI6 organised into forming a body known as ‘Victims of Panigrahi Association’ to terrorise me into leaving the United Kingdom, or incarcerating me in a mental hospital at the time. I was merely seeking assistance from the Party to withstand the persecution that I was experiencing. The correspondence to Paul Farthing in my resignation email is as linked here: https://www.thelibertariandemocrats.com/post/my-new-liberal-democrats-membership-no-22071144662-1 . I felt that the Party had not replied substantively to my concerns especially with Jane Ringham of Medway Council who dismissed me from employment as an Election Count Officer for reasons best known to herself for I was never told what the offence was and no disciplinary hearing was arranged to hear my side of the story. I very vaguely recall I was asking JE Castle to intervene on my behalf, but I cannot be sure unless I see what they alleged to the Party that led to me being flagged. I consider myself to have acted honestly, openly and constructively at all times. I was looking for a political party to represent my suffering in Parliament so I have over the years at various times joined the Labour Party, the Liberal Democrats, the Conservative and Unionist Party and very recently the Reform UK Party, but none would come to my rescue. So I decided to try and form a political party of my own, The Conservative Libertarian Party of the United Kingdom (https://theconservativelibertarianpartyoftheunitedkingdom.com) but it did not get recognition. So I once again turned to the Liberal Democrats Party, but now see that I have this hurdle to overcome. I am of the opinion that political parties should take up concerns through proper channels for Party members facing Hate Crimes and being a Hindu Asian I have suffered considerably in this regard. 4.           The ruling that you would wish the Panel to make in your favour: I would like to have my name cleared and reputation from this Defamation of my character that I am unfit for membership of the Liberal Democrats restored. Please return this form within fourteen days to: Standards Officer at standardsofficer@libdems.org.uk, or by post to Office of the English Party, LDHQ, 1 Vincent Square, London, SW1P 2PN. If it is decided that your case does fall within the remit of the Appeals Panel, you will be asked immediately for further information and a date for your hearing will be fixed. Please state here any dates that you will not be available:  Please note this extract from English Party constitution article 9.6: 9.6 Any decision of the Panel shall, subject to any right of appeal under the Federal Constitution, be final and binding on all concerned. The Panel shall publish any decisions, which, in the opinion of the Chair, are likely to be of value as a precedent.  5.           Date: 27 April 2024                                                  Sign: S.Panigrahi
