Editorial Viewpoints

• The Congress Government in Rajasthan has created an environment reminiscent of Pakistan ! Hence, it is no surprise that Kashmiri Muslims are resorting to violence there.

• Please note that on one hand, the Indian Government is fostering development of Kashmir and its Muslim population (who indirectly oppose the return of Hindus to Kashmir) using Hindu taxpayers’ money, while on the other, these very Kashmiri Muslims are targeting Hindus at other places in the country.
