Editorial Viewpoints

  • Tughlaqi decision in Congress-ruled Rajasthan ! How can such a ban be imposed when every Indian citizen is entitled to freedom of religion ?
  • Several Hindu festivals are celebrated throughout the year; hence the ban will affect Hindus the most. Hindus must protest against this in legal manner !
