Editorial Perspective

• Even under Yogi Adityanath's government in Uttar Pradesh, which is known for imposing harsh punishments, fanatic Muslims have not stopped daring to harass Hindu girls and murder those who question them. This shows the extent of the demonic tendencies prevailing among them. Therefore, the government will have to become even stricter.
• Where are those who proclaim 'Muslim-Dalit Bhai Bhai' hiding now ?
