Demolition of Hanuman Temple

Muslims vandalised the Hanuman Temple. The shopkeepers said the Muslims damaged the Temple’s door and the flag. The shop selling prasad was vandalised. After the Hindu activists and the Police arrived, the Muslims left.

Editorial Viewpoint

It is the result of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha Government of Jharkhand not taking immediate action against such rioters. Will such rulers ever maintain law and order ? It should not be wrong for anyone to say that the same punishment should be meted out to the people who elected them.
