Leicester Hindus under attack

Clearly, there is a coordinated echo chamber that has been recycling the same old, and most importantly, debunked anti-Hindu propaganda to whitewash Islamist extremism and violence. These attempts to delegitimise OpIndia’s exposure of anti-Hindu violence in Leicester, by recycling the same tropes have been ongoing since 2022.

The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) report titled 'Better Together: Understanding the 2022 Violence in Leicester', claims that its findings show that “no single community or group is ‘to blame’ for the violence, distrust, and tensions that erupted in 2022.” However, the report conveniently picked Hindus, Hindutva, and the BJP government in India to blame for violence and communal polarisation in Leicester in 2022.

Mohammed Hijab claimed to have based his theory of 'involvement of Hindutva' on a video clip of masked men chanting 'Jai Shree Ram' and marching past a Muslim neighbourhood. The court pointed out that the video was posted online, two days after his inciteful speech targeting the Hindu community.

The council cited uncontrollable crowds and emergency service warnings for the scale-back, but concerns persist over whether fear of renewed Islamist unrest and rising communal polarisation shaped the cautious yet controversial decision.

Hijab, who incited Muslims to attack Hindus in Leicester in 2022, tweeted, "If any Indian Muslim sides with India on Kashmir, he betrays the ummah. If he desires Hindutva's triumph over Muslims, he has fallen into disbelief."

Hijab tried to deviate public discourse from grooming gangs run by his co-religionists. He attempted to blame 'white people' for allegedly committing the majority of sex crimes

While sending him to prison the court noted that Majid Freeman intended “immediate unlawful violence” and used “abusive words with the intention that violence would be provoked.”
