King Charles withdrew the honor from two Indians...?
Britain's king Charles III has withdrawn the honor from two leaders of the british Indian community. The names of these two prominent personalities of the british Indian community are Rami Ranger and the managing trustee of Hindu Council UK, Anil Bhanot. One of them has been stripped of the honor for speaking for Bangladeshi Hindus and the other for supporting India's prime minister Narendra Modi.
According to media reports, this was announced in the 'London Gazette' on friday (6 December). The report said that both the british Indians will be asked to return their insignia to Buckingham Palace. At the same time, Rami Ranger and Anil Bhanot have condemned the announcement of this order and called it an attack on freedom of expression.
With which honor are both the british Indians honored?
It is noteworthy that millionaire Rami Ranger was awarded the CBE (Commander of the Order of the british Empire) and accountant Anil Bhanot, who runs a community arts center in Leicester, was awarded the OBE (Officer of the Order of the british Empire). From whom king Charles III has now asked for this honor back.
Let us tell you that a confiscation committee considers those cases in which the honor holder can be considered to be defaming the honor system. The recommendations of the confiscation committee have been submitted to the king through british prime minister Keir Starmer.
'My argument was not paid attention to' - Anil Bhanot
Anil Bhanot, who received the OBE honor, said, 'In January, the confiscation committee contacted him and he put forth his side. According to the report, Bhanot informed that the complaint alleging Islamophobia was about the violence against Hindus in bangladesh in 2021. He said that at that time our temples were being destroyed and Hindus were being attacked but the media did not cover it. I felt that something should be said. I have done nothing wrong and I have not brought disrepute to the honours system. He further said that freedom of expression is now a thing of the past in England. I am very upset by this. Because it is an honour, I don't think they paid any attention to my argument at all.
