London (Britain) – Incidents of vandalism and assaults targeting shopkeepers and restaurant owners of Indian origin have been reported in the Wembley area of London.

Chaos also created in fruit and vegetable shops

Another video circulated on 6^th March, showing masked youths throwing crates of fruits and vegetables kept outside a shop named Panesar Food & Wine. They reportedly threw the produce onto the ground and trampled it. According to local residents, the attackers first damage the shops and then record videos of the vandalism before leaving.

Knife attack on a man of Gujarati origin

On the night of 9^th March, a man of Gujarati origin was attacked with a knife on Ealing Road. He was taken to a hospital in serious condition. According to locals, the same group may have been responsible for attacking devotees celebrating Holi in the nearby area of Harrow the previous week.

Police investigation underway

A Police spokesperson stated that any attempt to intimidate businesses or communities will not be tolerated. Police have urged anyone with videos or information related to the incidents to share them with authorities so that the attackers can be identified and action can be taken.

Earlier attack during Holi celebrations; Issue raised in Parliament

Earlier, during Holi celebrations in the Harrow area near London, some Muslims had allegedly attacked Hindus. The issue was later raised in the Parliament of the United Kingdom. Local Member of Parliament Bob Blackman stated that the security of thousands of Hindus participating in the festival had been threatened. Out of around 20 attackers, only one person has reportedly been arrested so far.

Editorial Perspective

The large increase in the Pakistani Muslim population in London has led to Indians and Hindus being targeted. The British government and Police are being lenient toward these religious fanatic elements, allowing such incidents to occur. The Government of India should intervene in the matter.
