London: British Prime Minister Tony Blair has raised the issue of

alleged harassment of Kazakh Hindus with the President of Kazakhstan

Nursultan Nazarbayev at a meeting in London.

 

The meeting took place even as 60 riot police and bulldozers

assembled inside a Hindu temple in Kazakhstan and allegedly

demolished five Hindu houses, the Hindu Forum of Britain said on

Wednesday.

 

According to the forum, the Kazakh government is allegedly planning

to bulldoze a Hindu temple in the Karasai district in Kazakhstan on

Wednesday.

 

In their efforts to highlight the plight of Hindus in Kazakhstan,

Ashok Kumar, MP, has tabled an Early Day Motion in the House of

Commons.

 

The motion said: "This House, prior to the visit of the President of

Kazakhstan, condemns the harassment of and discrimination against

Hindu minorities in Kazakhstan; notes that Hindus in the Karasai

district have had land, barns and cows confiscated, have been

threatened with demolition of their houses, and denied the right to

own land."

Vrndavanji,

 

Is there something we can do to help the Hindus there? Is there an online petition or anything that we can sign?

 

Haribol!
