Hindus celebrating Holi attacked in Harrow | Official statement from West Harrow Met Engage contradicts statement from organisers, victims and eyewitness accounts

Serious questions must be asked about the Holi incident in Harrow.

Hundreds of Hindus gathered peacefully to celebrate Holi at the Harrow Civic Centre carpark. But towards the end of the evening, eyewitnesses say the celebration was disrupted.

According to the organisers’ statement:

•⁠ ⁠Around 8:35pm three youths arrived and began disturbing the sound system
•⁠ ⁠They were identified as a Muslim group
•⁠ ⁠About 10 minutes later a larger group of 15–16 youths arrived from the direction of the nearby mosque
•⁠ ⁠Glass bottles, sticks and other objects were used to attack the Hindu devotees
•⁠ ⁠Devotees celebrating Holi were intimidated and frightened

However, the statement published by the Harrow Policing Lead on the West Harrow Met Engage page paints a very different picture. It says a:

“14-year-old boy [was arrested] on suspicion of affray and a racially aggravated hate crime offence as he was heard making racial slurs towards the black community.”

It also states that there are “concerns that Hindu phobic language was used. I have been in regular contact with the investigation team, who inform me that this is not the case and that this incident was not targeted at Hindu or Islamic communities.”

These two accounts do not match.

Eyewitnesses who attended the event say the disturbance and intimidation came from a group arriving from the direction of the mosque.

Serious questions must be asked;

1.⁠ ⁠Why does the official statement contradict eyewitness accounts?
2.⁠ ⁠Why is the attack on a Hindu religious celebration not being clearly acknowledged?
3.⁠ ⁠There were 15-16 attackers and only 1 arrest. Is the Met investigating and looking to bring the rest of the perpetrators to justice?

The Hindu community deserves transparency, honesty and protection. Hindus celebrating their festival should never feel unsafe in Britain.

We call on the @metpoliceuk Service to clarify what really happened in Harrow and address the clear contradiction between the official statement and eyewitness testimony.

Sunny Hundal | Journalist: Cricket fans of mixed faith clashed in #Leicester, Hundal posted a tweet claiming “In Leicester extremist Hindutva groups go on the rampage in Leicester. Shocking stuff”. This unsubstantiated claim was a dog whistle that may have incited attacks.

Dr Rita Pal | Pakistani-British doctor: Known for raising issues relating to #Pakistani politics in the #UK. During the recent violence in Leicester, we believe she assisted the instigators and the Muslim extremist rioters to identify an apparent “RSS office” and attack it.

THREAD: The targeting of Hindus by Islamists through fake news. The Hindu youth and alleged attempted kidnapping of the Muslim girl in #Leicester
The real story.
1/13

After three nights of continued violence by Islamist mobs against Hindus in Leicester, multiple arrests were made. Shockingly even extremist Muslim men from outside Leicester were found to be participating in violence against Hindus.
2/13

The pause brought on by the arrests was quickly followed by an even more dangerous & vile lie to trap & cause unimaginable harm to an innocent Hindu youth who was falsely accused of attempting to kidnap a Muslim girl.
