  • If Hindus’ religious sentiments are hurt, and when Hindus lodge a complaint in the Police station in a legal way, the Police neglect them and the criminals are left free to roam. On the other hand, religious fanatics take the law into the hands and attack the Police.
  • How will the Police be able to protect the people when they cannot even defend their own Police station ? Therefore, people should now take self-defence training to protect themselves and their families !
  • If there is large scale violence by religious fanatics in the BJP-ruled State and the Police are at the receiving end, then who will protect the Hindus ?
  • Realise that the so-called secularists, progressives, communists do not open their mouths about the violence of the religious fanatics.

Gandhigiri of Congress MLA Srinivas Murthy – ‘Will not complain against anyone, God will punish them’.

Congress MLA is making such statements to save religious fanatics ? Because the Congressmen are remembering God only because they are aware that if they complain, the fanatics will be hurt. Had the Hindus accidentally thrown a stone, would Murti have given similar advice ?

Will the Congressmen representatives, who cannot even undo the injustice done to themselves ever raise their voice against the injustice done to the people ?

Congress MLA Srinivas Murthy said some unidentified persons set fire to my house and also threw petrol bombs at the house. The Police should investigate this and take action against the culprits. If this is happening in the case of an MLA, then what is the fate of the common man ? However, I will not complain against anyone about this. God will punish them. ‘

The State President of Congress D K Shivkumar said that he protests the violence and expects that no one would take the law into hands.
