Editorial comments

• With a BJP Government in Madhya Pradesh, how did religious fanatics have the courage to attack the Police ?
• Why don’t Congress, Nationalist Congress, Samajwadi Party, Trinamool Congress and Communist parties speak against the religious fanatics who attacked the Police, or do they think that it is the ‘religious right’ of the fanatics to attack the Police ?

During the commemoration, the Police were urging the attendees to follow the designated route but suddenly stone pelting started and firecrackers were also hurled at the Police.
