The story highlights the community conversation in Glasgow’s Springburn area following the sudden appearance of saltire flags — some linked to far-right and anti-immigration messaging.

Representing the Bangla Centre, Mr Sarkar spoke about unity and compassion in the face of division, saying:

“We may be tiny compared with the scale of global politics, but change always begins at the community level. Even here in Springburn, we can spark something bigger — showing that compassion is stronger than division.”

His words were featured as one of the key highlights of the article, reflecting the Bangla Centre’s mission to promote understanding, inclusion, and harmony within Glasgow’s diverse communities.

We are incredibly proud of Mr Moloy Sarkar for representing our organisation and community with such inspiring leadership and compassion.
