Harrods apologises and removes display.

Dear Sir

The Chairman has asked me to thank you for your e mail dated 8 June 2004 and reply on his behalf.

I was most concerned to learn that you should have been given occasion to complain in connection with the Robert Cavalli swimwear/underwear sold at Harrods.

Since receiving your email we have decided to remove this range from sale.

Please accept my apologies for any disappointment you were caused and I hope we may be of service to you in the future.

With kind regards.

Yours sincerely

Harrods

HHR wishes to thank all those Hindus who have responded positively to our campaign and acted promptly to make our feelings clear. Also, we would like to thank Harrods and their chairman, Mr Al-Fayed, for listening to our concerns and for realising the seriousness of this issue.

While we are pleased that underwear depicting Hindu deities is no longer for sale and on display at Harrods, we remind everyone that this range is still available in many outlets all over the world and over the Internet and that we have had no response from Roberto Cavalli. We urge all Hindus to help us continue highlighting the degrading of Hindus and Hinduism in whichever form it exists.

Thank you.
