The attackers reportedly belong to various Hindu organisations. After discussing with both parties, the Police released all the accused. Locals said that there had been similar attacks in the village before. (This clearly means that the incidents of conversion of Hindus have been happening here since long ago ! If the Police and administration are still being negligent, the BJP Government in the State should pay attention to this ! – Editor)

Editorial Viewpoints

• Central Government needs to pass an anti-conversion law immediately in order to prevent such incidents !
• Hindus are being converted by Christian missionaries through various means; while it is known to the world, it is still not being contained. It is shameful for Hindus !
