Mayor of Rochdale Faisal Rana said that the Muslim community is being subjected to hate crimes and it is our responsibility to inform the police so that it can be dealt with. It has no place in an interfaith and cultural community. Muzammil Karnan said that we are committed to protecting our community from hate crimes and it has no place in our society. Sohail Ahmed and others present at the seminar also reiterated the commitment that we will have to work together to deal with profit-making crimes.
The increase in the rate of hate crimes in the name of race, religion and culture in the UK is a deep concern in the multicultural community and the efforts of the Rochdale Mask Council to deal with it are commendable
