Editorial viewpoint

Advocates, who stand in support of a devout Hindu advocate, are the strength of Hindu Dharma !  

Editorial viewpoint

Where have all the secularists, progressives and Naxal-supporters disappeared now, those who made a lot of noise about all progressives being in danger after Gauri Lankesh’s murder ? Many devout Hindu activists have been killed in Karnataka and are still in danger due to Jihadis and Naxals. The attack on Adv. Krishnamurthy highlights this fact ! Will the Government take steps to eradicate Jihadis, Fanatics and Naxals ?
