Hindu extremists attack Pakistani restaurant in UK

A violent incident at a well-known Pakistani restaurant in Sheffield, perpetrated by a group of Hindu extremists, has raised significant alarm regarding escalating religious tensions internationally.

The incident, which took place earlier this week, involved a group of intoxicated Indian nationals who invaded the restaurant, physically assaulted the staff, and inflicted considerable damage to the premises.

Reports from British media indicate that the assailants, allegedly under the influence of alcohol, verbally harassed the restaurant employees and engaged in destructive behavior, which included shattering windows, tossing chairs and tables, and damaging various pieces of furniture.

The group accused the restaurant of serving beef, claiming it was mixed with cow meat—an allegation tied to the revered status of cows in Hinduism.

One of the attackers reportedly stated during the incident, “We had already told them that beef should not be served.”

This claim is particularly sensitive in light of the ongoing religious and cultural tensions exacerbated by extremist factions in India, especially under the current administration of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The restaurant, a long-standing establishment favored by the local Pakistani community, was left in chaos. The owners expressed their shock and dismay over the incident, noting that this was not the first time their establishment had been subjected to hate-fueled actions.

“We’ve always welcomed people of all backgrounds, and to be attacked for serving food is an unacceptable act of bigotry,” remarked one of the restaurant’s managers.

The police acted promptly in response to the situation, apprehending the attackers.
