London: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned the attack on a hotel during anti-immigration protests and violent demonstrations by right-wing protesters.
According to the report of the Reuters news agency, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said that strict action will be taken against those who spread tension according to the law.
Protests erupted in the UK last week after three girls were killed in a knife attack at a children’s dance class in Southampton, and the incident last week was pounced on by anti-Muslim and anti-immigrant groups as fake news. That the attacker was an immigrant and a Muslim.
The British police said that the attacker is a citizen of British origin and that they do not consider this incident as terrorism.
However, the protests spread across the UK and other parts of the country, including Liverpool, Bristol and Manchester, led to dozens of arrests as protesters ransacked and looted shops and other businesses. Police personnel were also injured.
Also on Sunday, anti-immigration protesters gathered near a hotel near Rotherham, which Britain’s Home Office said was housing refugees.
Masked protesters pelted stones at the police and broke hotel windows and set fire to trash cans, pushing the police towards the hotel.
The British Prime Minister said in the condemnation statement that I condemn the actions of the right-wing miscreants, who are part of this tension should not be under any misconception because the law will deal with them strictly.
He said that people are being targeted on the basis of color, race and creed in these protests and such chaos cannot be allowed on the streets of Britain.
Keir Starmer said that whatever the motivation behind these protests seemed to be, it was a criminal act and not a protest at all.
