I WAS disgusted to read the front page headline in last Friday’s Oxford Mail – Knock Down Your Temple.
Oxford City Council’s heavy-handed attitude towards the city’s Sikh community is a disgrace.
The Sikhs are a proud hard-working and peaceful people who have fought for Britain in two world wars and they deserve better. They should be allowed to worship in peace.
Other religions receive far better treatment than this minority group.
Oxford prides itself on its multiculturalism, but this treatment is shameful.
Yet again, the city council is behaving like The Crankies.
I feel sick at the whole sorry episode.
