Editorial Perspective

• Such incidents of attacks indicate that in India not only Hindus, but even the Police are unsafe from Muslims. If such incidents concerning Police personnel are occurring in a BJP-ruled State, then who will protect ordinary Hindus?
• Those who raise their hands against Police personnel should be punished with life imprisonment! The Police should create such a deterrent that no one dares to attack them!
