Indian diaspora groups slam use of term 'Asian' in UK child sex abuse scandal
India TodayIndian diaspora groups in the UK have expressed strong objections to the use of the term "Asian" in reference to a historic child sexual abuse scandal involving gangs of men of Pakistani heritage. "This use of the vague reference to 'Asian' grooming gangs is extremely disappointing from the Prime Minister," NSO said in a statement quoted by news agency PTI. "Politicians by continuing to use the misleading term 'Asian grooming gangs' shows they are more worried about votes and do not have a clue how to address a perverse upbringing mixed with a religious philosophy of forced religious conversion that has been allowed to thrive for decades without being called out," the federation posted on X. British Hindu groups have also raised concerns about political correctness among UK authorities, which they believe is failing the victims of such crimes. UK Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to include tougher measures in the Crime and Policing Bill, making it mandatory for organisations and institutions to report child sexual abuse.
