(IANS) - Members of the British parliament have demanded that the Malaysian government scrap plans to demolish Hindu temples and allow legitimate protests against it.In a strongly worded statement, they have also urged the British government to take up the matter on their behalf and 'make the strongest possible representation' to Kuala Lumpur.The MPs' demand comes after the Malaysian police used force to break up protests by Hindus complaining of decades of neglect and discrimination by the government in Kuala Lumpur.
The police action has been criticised around the world.
'This House notes with grave concern the stated intention of the government of Malaysia to demolish 79 Hindu temples,' said the House of Commons Early Day Motion that has been signed by 19 MPs so far.The MPs called upon their government 'to make the strongest possible representations to the Malaysian government both to cease the programme of demolition and to allow this legitimate voice of protest to be heard without physical interference'.The EDM was moved Thursday by Stephen Pound, ruling Labour Party MP for Ealing North, and signed among others by Keith Vaz, the longest-serving Asian MP in Britain, and Ann Cryer, a member of the influential Home Affairs Select Committee.

Thank You Britain, USA and India.
Stop these atrocities in Malaysia before it's too late !!
Don't worry this is not an internal issue anymore, it's international, we have become GLOKAL.
When Malaysia can cry foul in Bosnia, Palestine, Afganistan ,Thailand and Philippines, other countries can do the same here.
There cant be two different rules and double standards right
