UK Minister for Local Government, Secretary of State for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities Lee Rowley on Monday said “anti-Hindu hatred is abhorrent and has no place in our communities”.
He said the UK government is working with the police and community partners to monitor and combat it.
Mr Rowley was responding to a question by UK Member of Parliament Navendu Mishra.
A Hindu youth in Bangladesh has been sentenced to 5 years in jail by a court for alleged blasphemy. Paritosh Sarkar, accused of making blasphemous comments on Facebook, has also been fined 30,000 Taka by the Rangpur Cyber Tribunal. Sarkar was convicted under Digital Security Act by judge Abdul Majid Roy of the tribunal on Wednesday.
One of the key reasons for the silence of American woke culture on the plight of Bangladeshi Hindus is the lack of media coverage. The Western media tends to concentrate on issues that align with its strategic interests. Consequently, atrocities committed against a minority group in Bangladesh which does not have loud and politically entrenched supporters in the United States, do not receive adequate media attention.
The report finds that 51% of Hindu parents surveyed reported that their child had experienced anti-Hindu hate in schools, while less than 1% of schools surveyed reported any anti-Hindu related incidents in the last 5 years. Only 19% of Hindu parents surveyed believe schools are able to identify anti-Hindu hate. 8 physical assaults were detailed.
The Independent’s Deputy Editor of Opinions, Sunny Hundal, decided to take it down because he claimed she was getting threats. He did not explain what threats, and who those threats were from. He claimed she was being called anti-Hindu despite being Hindu herself.
Pakistan’s Supreme Court ordered authorities Tuesday to rebuild a century-old Hindu temple that was vandalized and set on fire by a mob last week, drawing condemnation from the government and leaders of minority Hindus.
