Hindus under attack in UK: With chants of ‘Allahu Akbar…Takbir’, Muslim mob attacks temple in Smethwick as cops look on

New Delhi: Days after an irate Muslim mob vandalised a Hindu temple and desecrated a saffron flag in Leicester, more than 200 people, mostly Muslims, attacked Durga Bhawan Hindu Centre in Smethwick and shouted ‘Allahu Akbar’ slogans. It is believed that Sadhvi Ritambhara was supposed to preach at the Hindu centre, but the event was cancelled owing to poor health of the sadhvi. According to a post on Twitter, a bottle was thrown inside the premises of the Durga Bhawan Hindu Centre even as police looked on. Watch: Mob marching towards Durga Bhawan Hindu Centre in Smethwick
