Mr Sisupalan joined the Labour Party in 1975, the day after knowing that his first child was conceived.

However, since the New Labour Party came to prominence, its undemocratic policies and practices at local and at national level disillusioned his belief.

Their four children were born in North London and they are not only an asset to the community but are also proud of their Indo-British heritage. Mr Sisupalan came to the UK in May 1961 from Singapore, carrying a British Passport, as a citizen of the U.K and colonies.
