| Editorial Viewpoint
Strict rules have to be followed in Muslim religious places, and strict action is taken on those who break them. But if Hindu’s make any rules for maintaining the purity of their religious places, the liberals and criticise it by saying ‘it is a blow on personal freedom’. Such people should now speak out about the Mecca incident. |
