London, UK: At least one million people took to the streets on Saturday to protest against UK Prime Minister Theresa May’s handling of the Brexit process, demanding for a second referendum to be held, according to campaign group People’s Vote UK – the organiser of the protest.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who was one of the attendees of #PutItToThePeopleMarch, launched a scathing attack against Prieme Minister May. However, he wasn’t the only one to do so; there were continuous calls for her to step down from the PM post during Saturday’s protest.

“No matter how you voted, I’m sure you’ll agree – #Brexit is a complete and utter mess. The British people didn’t vote for a bad Brexit deal. The British people didn’t vote for a no-deal Brexit. It’s time to give us – the British people – the final say. #PeoplesVote,” Khan tweeted.

“With just days left to go, let the message ring out from the many thousands here today. This is about our future, not our past. This is about uniting our country, not dividing us further. Enough is enough it’s time to #PutltToThePeople,” read his another tweet.

Demonstrators gathered at the Parliament Square on Saturday to take part in the ‘Put It To The People March’ and demanded that a second referendum be held.

“The result of the 2016 referendum was not well informed,” one of the protesters told CNN. Roads were closed in central London to aid the protests, which ended around 5 pm in the evening (local time).

Uncertainty looms even as UK looks at an extended period to exit from the EU.
