Hindu family attacked in Gonda based on a post on social media !

Editorial viewpoint

Why does the group of secularists, always giving sermons to Hindus on freedom of expression, keep quiet about such attacks ? Or does talking against Hindus and turning a blind eye towards atrocities committed by non-Hindus only mean secularism to these people ?

In another incident that occurred on the 10^th of October 2022 at Gonda in Uttar Pradesh, the house of a Hindu family in Khargupur area was attacked by some fanatic Muslims to protest against one post on social media. The matter was posted by a Hindu youth named Rikki and his house has been attacked. Rikki has been arrested.

Houses of many Hindus were attacked by pelting stones, resulting in the smashing of the glasses. Police vehicles were also attacked. Action is being taken against fanatic Muslims pelting stones. Cases have been registered against Rikki and 12 fanatic Muslims have been taken into custody so far in this context.

Editorial viewpoints

• Such incidents are not expected in the governance of Yogi Adityanath. The concerned fanatic Muslims are expected to be severely punished !
• Use of grenades shows that the attack was pre-planned. Hindus need to note that their only solution for self-protection is their unity !
