Lucknow, Apr 21 (UNI) Newly appointed High Sheriff of Greater London Khalid Hameed today claimed that due to education and employment backwardness, Muslims were being allured by terrorist groups for vested interest.

Talking to mediapersons here during his visit to the native Uttar Pradesh capital, Dr Hameed said terrorist groups were taking the advantage of education as backwardness among Muslim youth in Great Britian and other countries to attract them in illegal operations.

He is the first non-British person to be nominated for the post of High Sheriff.

''Although Britian provides allowances to the unemployed youth, still for earning easy money, some youth bend towards terrorism,'' he said while referring to last July's bomb explosion in London.

Claiming that terrorist attack had not affected tolerance against Asians in Britian, Dr Hameed said several important posts, including two secretaries and some ambassadors are occupied by the non-Britishers.

''The racist tolerance in British against Asian is highest in the world as after the July bomb blasts police and press played a very matured role,'' he observed.

Commenting on the Indo-British relationship, the sheriff, who was conferred with Padmashree, said Indians were being well treated in the UK and occupied several important posts in government and non government sectors.

''It would be strange to note that water bills of London are being prepared in Bangalore, thus several other jobs are been taken away by the Indians,'' he remarked.

Dr Hameed is the Chairman of the Commonwealth Youth Exchange Council, chairman of the Alpha Hospital Group and London international hospital. He was appointed High Sheriff of Greater London last month by the Queen for one year.

A native of UP, Dr Hameed completed his MBBS from KGMU, and was in London for the past 35 years.
