London, June 3: A Hindu human rights group here has taken strong
exception to the use of the image of Lord Ram at an objectionable
place -- products manufactured by a French company -- and decided to
hold a protest demonstration near the French Embassy here on June 12.
"We call on the French government to seriously look into
discrimination against Hindus and Hinduism and take steps to rectify
the situation because defamation leads to persecution," a spokesman
of
the group said today.
The group called upon community members and
their friends to join the
protest against the display of Lord Ram's image
at the objectionable
place by the French company.
"On its own,
this may seem unimportant to non-Hindus. But France is a
country that has
had trouble even recognizing Hinduism as a valid
religion," the spokesman
said.
Indeed, the Hindu community finds it extremely difficult to even
get
planning permission to build and maintain their temples," he alleged.
Go away you silly sadhu! We unclog our noses in your general
direction!
