London, Sep 19 (TIWN) Large-scale disorder broke out in Leicester amid tensions involving mainly young men from sections of the Muslim and Hindu communities, with police and community leaders calling for calm, the media reported.

Police said two arrests had been made, and that the trouble flared up after "an unplanned protest" on Saturday night, reports the BBC.  Saturday's incident is the latest of several incidents, including violence after an India and Pakistan cricket match on August 28.  A significant police operation will remain in the area in the coming days.  Suleman Nagdi, of the Leicester-based Federation of Muslim Organisations told the BBC: "What we have seen on the streets is very alarming. There have been problems in the community since the India and Pakistan cricket match and while that game often sparks gatherings they have not in the past turned this ugly.  "We need calm, the disorder has to stop and it has to stop now. There are some very dissatisfied young men who have been causing havoc.  "We need to get the message out that this must end and try to do this through parents and grandparents talking to their sons."  Sanjiv Patel, who represents Hindu and Jain temples across Leicester, said he was deeply saddened and shocked by Saturday night's disorder.  "We have lived in harmony in the city for many decades but over the past few weeks it is clear there are things that need to be discussed around the table to get out what people are unhappy about, " the BBC quoted Patel as saying. "Resorting to violence is not the way to deal with this.
