The Hindu Human Rights Group condemns the attack on innocent members of the public by suspected terrorists on Thursday 7 July 2005. While such an attack was expected by many, it still
comes as a big shock to everyone and we commend the prompt response of the emergency services as well as the other volunteers who worked tirelessly to rescue the injured. Our thoughts and
prayers go to the victims and their friends and families in what must be a very distressing time.
In connection with this, Hindu Human Rights encourages all Hindu temples, voluntary and welfare organisations to play their part in taking practical steps which would go some way in
relieving the harrowing experience caused by terrorists in London on Thursday 7 July 2005. Hindu Human Rights asks all such Hindu organisations to begin collecting funds towards the
purpose of providing help for victims and their families, which can then be put to good use. We understand that this will not bring back the lives of those taken by the bombings, nor heal
the physical and mental scars which will now be suffered by those who were fortunate to survive. Nevertheless it is necessary that in the light of the tragedy, the Hindu community takes
positive steps that will benefit all victims of the atrocity which took place in London.
Hindu Human Rights is also asking all Hindus to be vigilant due to the inevitable political fallout already happening following the attack which could lead to vandalism against Hindu
property and mindless racist violence.
Finally, we would like to express our sympathies with all those families and individuals that have suffered in this tragedy.
