Following the complaint, Kerehalli, who had gone there to attend his brother’s wedding ceremony, was arrested and brought to Bengaluru. (Is such action ever taken against Muslims for insulting Hindu saints ? – Editor)

Editorial Perspective

It would have been surprising if the Karnataka Police, functioning under the Congress Government, which has an anti-Hindu mindset similar to that of Pakistan, had not taken such action !
