In a post on X, the Blackburn MP said Sikh residents should not face harassment over a crime committed by a single person.

“This is awful. No community should have to live in fear like this, and no community should be held responsible for the crimes of an individual,” Hussain wrote.

“Solidarity with the Sikh community. The government must ensure its safety is prioritised and necessary reassurance is provided.”
