Anti-Muslim march in Bolton cancelled
4:46pm Sunday 7th February 2010
A planned rally due to take place in Bolton by the right wing English Defence League (EDL) has been postponed.
Today, organisers said the event, scheduled to take place on March 6, had been halted after they discovered it clashed with a religious festival.
EDL founder Tony Robinson said this morning: “We have been made aware that there is a Hindu festival in Bolton on the same day.
“We are now trying to find another date for the demonstration which will be in about two months time.”
It said the EDL respected the Hindu community and was standing only against Muslim extremists.
