HINDUS UNDER ATTACK

ISLAMISTS ARE ATTACKING HINDUS AND SPREADING FALSE PROPAGANDA AGAINST THEM IN A BID TO PORTRAY THEM AS FUNDAMENTALISTS. ACCORDING TO CENTRE FOR INTEGRATED AND HOLISTIC STUDIES (CIHS), A NON-PARTISAN, INDEPENDENT, RESEARCH THINK TANK HEADQUARTERED IN NEW DELHI, INDIA, THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS HAVE BEEN UNEARTHED

Leicester, home to the second-largest Hindu population in Europe, is the heartland of the Hindu community in the UK. Since the 1950s, a significant number of Hindus have immigrated to Leicester from India, East Africa, Southern Africa, Fiji, and others. Leicester is renowned for hosting delightful Hindu festivals, the biggest Diwali celebration outside of India takes place in Leicester.

After India and Pakistan's Asia Cup Cricket match on August 28, 2022, Muslim men, who had come to watch the cricket match from several UK towns, deliberately intimidated the local Indian/Hindu community. They made hate speeches and used racial slurs in addition to publicly attacking and damaging private Hindu property.

The widespread Islamist hate towards Hindus fuelled violence against Hindus in the city for the next few days. These highly motivated and radicalised groups targeted local Hindu homes, damaging over fifty Hindu properties and vehicles during the series of targeted attacks.

On September 08, 2022, to further incite violence and unrest in Leicester, neighbourhood Islamists and Pakistan-supported Twitter accounts spread false reports that a Muslim girl had been kidnapped by local resident Hindus. The Leicestershire Police refuted the bogus claims in a statement on September 14, 2022, stating that the incident never occurred and the allegations made about it were untrue.
