Editorial Perspectives

  • This is a slap in the face to those who say, ‘Muslims are unsafe in India’ !
  • People think that such incidents should not happen in a BJP ruled State.
  • Attacks by Muslim mobs on the Police are observed in most Muslim-majority areas of the country. It is necessary to try to change this situation on a war footing.
