Editorial viewpoints

• Why are Muslims, Islamic countries, so-called seculars, and their organisations quiet now ? Or do they think only Muslims have religious sentiments and Hindus don’t ?
• India does not have strong laws against blasphemy, hence accused are not punished appropriately. Hindus believe that at least now the Government would look at this issue seriously.
