Complaint regarding Wikipedia Page
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to you in relation to the Wikipedia page titled, "Mohamed Sheikh, Baron Sheikh". I disagree with the following excerpt and would kindly ask that the following excerpt is removed from my page on the basis that I believe it was written with the intent to discredit me and damage my reputation.
"Lord Sheikh was present at International Conference on Monitoring the Palestinian Political and Legal Situation in the Light of Israeli Aggression in 2014, a Palestinian rights conference in Tunis, alongside Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. Sheikh said there "may have been" members of the democratically elected political party Hamas present at the conference, but that he did not speak to them.[2] Following these revelations, Zionist Conservative MPs Robert Halfon (a member of the Conservative Friends of Israel) and Zac Goldsmith called for an investigation into Lord Sheikh's appearance there, arguing that attending the conference was a breach of the party's code of conduct and that a failure of the party to investigate Sheikh would be seen as hypocritical.[8] Lord Sheikh denied any wrongdoing, calling the complaints "trivial" and "politically motivated" following Sheikh's condemnation of Johnson's controversial remarks.[9]"
The complaints to CCHQ were totally trivial and have no substance. The investigation by CCHQ regarding my attendance at the conference in Tunis, 2014, completely exonerated me of any wrongdoing.
As I was completely exonerated, I believe the inclusion of the investigation on my Wikipedia page is no longer relevant or necessary.
I think the Wikipedia page must be a true portrayal of what I have done and continue to do. For your benefit, I would like to insert below a short biography about myself which appears in the second book I have written ('An Indian in the House, the life and times of the four trailblazers who first brought India to the British Parliament').
