That's nice. If you had said that right away that my being an Indian, I cannot raise a question here, I wouldn't have. But thanks for clarifying anyway.
Your being Indian is irrelevant, however being a nuisance is the cause of concern as despite other members answering your query, you keep repeating the same question. I will make it easy for you, the following topic was also posted in this forum by an Indian member, one could argue what does this have to do with def. pk. but for umpteenth time, let me repeat that this section of the forum is for such news and discussions.
Tory Muslim peer pelted with eggs
Conservative peer Baroness Warsi of Dewsbury, named Britain's most powerful Muslim woman, has been pelted with eggs during a visit to Luton.
Baroness Warsi was taking part in a walkabout in the predominantly Muslim Bury Park area of Luton when she was confronted by a group of protesters.
The male protesters accused her of not being a proper Muslim and supporting the death of Muslims in Afghanistan.
Baroness Warsi, who was hit by at least one egg, debated with the men.
The shadow minister for community cohesion and social action was then taken into a nearby shop.
'Views challenged'
Baroness Warsi told the BBC that the men were "idiots who did not represent the majority of British Muslims".
She said these type of protesters "bring Muslims into huge disrepute".
"I stood up to this group and said I challenge your views," she told BBC News.
"They just weren't prepared to listen. They shouted. I said if you want to have this debate, listen."
She continued her walkabout with a police escort.
One of the protesters against Baroness Warsi, Sayful Islam, told the BBC they were "against everything she stands for".
He said: "She is not a practising Muslim. Clearly by looking at her she does not represent Muslims."
He said he and his fellow protesters did not throw the eggs at her.
Baroness Warsi was named as one of the most powerful women in The Power List - chosen by a panel led by Trevor Phillips, chairman of the Equality and Human Rights Commission.
The award was set up to celebrate high performers in business, the arts, media, voluntary and public sectors.
