Muslim leaders have accused the Conservative chair Brandon Lewis of ignoring calls to set up an inquiry into Islamophobia in the party.
The Muslim Council of Britain has written its second letter to him, saying it is "deeply disappointed" at not having received a reply or acknowledgement of their demand.
Harun Khan, secretary general of the group which represents more than 1,000 mosques and Muslim institutions, said some victims of Islamophobia were afraid to raise their concerns, risking "political suicide".
In the letter seen by Sky News, Mr Khan said: "This is a sad state of affairs for our democracy and we hope they can be taken up in an independent inquiry."
The Conservative Party has declined to comment. [Sky News] Read more
