Hindus demand enquiry into kicking out of Roma from Poland restaurants

NEVADA - Hindus have demanded enquiry into the reported racist incidents in Poznan (western Poland) in which Roma (Gypsy) were reportedly banned entry into restaurants and pubs.

Hindu statesman Rajan Zed, in a statement in Nevada (USA) today, said that it was 2011 and many Poland establishments still reportedly refused entry to Roma.

Zed, who is President of Universal Society of Hinduism, stressed that about 15-million Roma were facing apartheid conditions in Europe. It was a sin to watch them suffer day after day since about ninth century CE and not do anything about it.

Rajan Zed pointed out that European Roma reportedly regularly faced social exclusion, racism, substandard education, hostility, joblessness, rampant illness, inadequate housing, lower life expectancy, unrest, living on desperate margins, stereotypes, mistrust, rights violations, discrimination, marginalization, appalling living conditions, prejudice, human rights abuse, etc.

Poland, which is the birthplace of Marie Sklodowska Curie, Pope John Paul II, Nicolaus Copernicus, Tadeusz Kosciuszko, J�zef Pilsudski, Frederick Chopin, Kazimierz Pulaski, etc., should immediately end Roma maltreatment

Poznan on Warta river, fifth largest city of Poland, is a candidate city for European Capital of Culture in 2016. Ryszard Grobelny is the Mayor. Bronislaw Komorowski and Donald Tusk are President and Prime Minister respectively of Poland, country of 14th-century Gothic castles. Hinduism, oldest and third largest religion of the world, has about one billion adherents and moksh (liberation) is its ultimate goal. (ANI)
