New Delhi: Security has been beefed up outside a Hindu temple in UK’s Wembley after Islamists called for a demonstration outside the temple on Sunday.
This is the latest in a series of incidents targeting Hindus in the UK in recent days.
Taking cognizance of the threat, MP Barry Gardiner under whose constituency Wembley had tweeted that he “contacted police about the incitement to demonstrate outside Hindu temple.”
I’ve contacted the police about the incitement to demonstrate at a Hindu temple in my constituency tomorrow. Anyone thinking of demonstrating should stay away and recognise that hate crimes carry jail sentences.
Hindus should not go to “defend” the mandir. That is the police job.— Barry Gardiner (@BarryGardiner) September 24, 2022
The police have started patrolling the area. On Sunday, the Brent Police tweeted that they continue “patrols of religious establishments across the diverse borough of Brent.”
