Editorial Perspectives

• Such incidents make people wonder if the ‘Jungle-Raj’ still flourishes in Bihar. It is shameful that the Police could not protect themselves.

• This is a hard slap to parties like the Congress, TMC, CPI, SP etc., who claim Muslims are not safe in India. They will not, however, say a word in this matter.
