On Sunday 7th November 2015, at the Houses of Parliaments, anti-Modi demonstrators projected a violated version of the sacred Aum and Aumkar, both holy for Hindus and Sikhs. While some would state that the demonstrators were making a political point, many could deem this action as insulting and demonstrating religious intolerance.
Virendra Sharma MP states, “Demonstrating religious tolerance at a time of celebration and oneness for millions around the world is not making a political point, it is insulting. I have written to the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Home Secretary asking them to investigate the incident fully and to request the Metropolitan Police reopen their investigation.”
He further said, “Comparing Hinduism and Sikhism to the hateful ideology of Nazism doesn't raise issues around political freedoms it persecutes millions at their most special time of the year. Six million Jews and millions more died at the hands of the Nazis; trying to use that intense suffering and cruelty to make a political point demeans humankind.”
