Editorial Perspectives

Muslim mob action in the name of the Waqf Board !

Such incidents highlight why it is time to dissolve the Waqf Board instead of amending the Waqf Act.

Hindus expect that such incidents should not occur under a pro-Hindu Government in Gujarat, and that strict action be taken against such elements.
