There were clashes in Leicester and Birmingham
A Hindu community leader said he was 'taken by surprise' after he learned about the nationalist views of a speaker who was due to attend an event in Nottingham. Hindu nationalist Sadhvi Ritambhara was due to speak at a number of venues across the UK, including the Hindu temple and community centre in Carlton Road, Nottingham - but all the events were cancelled amid tensions between communities in Leicester and Birmingham.
Mr Sharma said the UK tour was cancelled two weeks before the event. However, a spokesperson for Param Shakti Peeth of the UK and organiser of the event, said the talk was cancelled because of Sadhvi Ritambhara's 'poor health'. It follows reports of serious disorders in parts of East Leicester on Saturday, September 17 and on September 18 as large crowds formed after groups of young men began an unplanned protest. A similar protest between Hindu and Muslim groups has reportedly taken place in Birmingham on Tuesday .
News of her visit prompted Nadia Whittome, Labour MP for Nottingham East, to ask the Home Office to intervene and stop her tour. She added: “Last week I was contacted by a number of constituents raising concerns about an event in Nottingham that Sadhvi Rithambara was due to address, given that Ms Rithambara has been accused of inciting hatred and communal violence in India through her speeches.
