An emergency meeting between faith communities will be held tomorrow amid ongoing tension between Muslims and Hindus in Leicester. Reports of further violence follow an incident on the Golden Mile a week ago which was caught on camera.
The incident - after the Pakistan vs India match on Sunday, August 28 - involved large groups of people, while racist chanting was heard. A Leicestershire Police officer was assaulted during the violence.
Since then, more attacks have been reported. Suleman Nagdi, spokesman for the Federation of Muslim Organisations, said: "A meeting will be held tomorrow with the police and other stakeholders to inform people what's going on and give reassurances to the community that they are taking things seriously.
