"The racism claims are alleged to have been made by Bashir Maan, a representative of the Muslim community attending the public meeting, which was held in the Castlemilk Hall last Wednesday.
It is alleged Mr Mann told a national newspaper that the atmosphere at the meeting was totally racist and that he had never experienced such a racist atmosphere in the 54 years he had lived in this country.
It is alleged he further claimed that, when he was trying to explain how it would take the Muslim community 200 years to fill the cemetery, someone had shouted “take them to Pakistan” and that another person had shouted “you are in a minority, you can’t dictate to us”."
Unlucky for him the meeting was video taped.
"The community council spokesman said that, given the severity of the accusation by Mr Maan, it had contacted Strathclyde Police.
He added that the video the community council had made of the meeting clearly showed there was just one heckler out of almost 300 people.
He had been shouted down by the audience with calls of “shameful” before being ejected by police at the request of the chairman."
He should at least be charged with wasting police time.
