New Delhi: A complaint filed at the Australian Human Rights Commission has accused the Hindu Council of Australia for alleged repeated instances of Islamophobia, prompting the Commission to investigate the allegations.The complaint, filed by the Alliance against Islamophobia, says that between May 2024 and July 2025, the Council, its president Sai Paravastu and head of media Neelima Paravastu, made Islamophobic posts on X and Instagram, and comments in public, reported The Guardian.The complaint contains copies of the social media posts, which included sharing posts by Charlie Kirk and far-right UK figure Tommy Robinson. The other posts which are referenced in the complaint specifically impugned Indian, Bangladeshi and Rohingya Muslims, it is alleged.The complaint alleges that the imputations from several of the posts were that Muslims were “inherently criminal, dangerous, violent or evil by nature”, “prey upon children, the aged and the vulnerable” and “homogeneously pose a powerful threat or menace”.The commission is believed to have accepted the matter on September 16 and conducting an investigation, reported The Guardian.The complaint seeks a formal public apology from the Hindu Council of Australia, the immediate removal of the allegedly offending material from all platforms, an enforceable undertaking to cease further vilifying conduct and compensation “for the harm and distress caused”.“I’ve been warning America of the problems Islam brings for many years, hoping they’re not blind-sided like we in Europe were,” says a copy of an X post from Robinson, which was reposted by Neelima Paravastu, and hereby included in the complaint against the Council.The other posts under scanner include those criticising the burqa and New York mayoral nominee Zohran Mamdani. The complaint specifically focuses on posts which are said to impugn Muslims with south Asian backgrounds, and includes several posts in Hindi, including copies of several news articles which referenced comments Sai Paravastu allegedly made calling for the removal of Muslim prayer rooms in schools.The complaint alleges violations of section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act, and unlawful discrimination within the meaning of the Australian Human Rights Commission Act.Section 18C makes acts that are reasonably likely to offend, insult, humiliate or intimidate someone because of their race or ethnicity unlawful.
