Editorial Viewpoints

• Please note that certain secularists, political parties, and Muslim leaders, such as Asaduddin Owaisi, remain silent in such cases, but when a Hindu teacher disciplines a Muslim student, they create havoc. It is important to recognise this disparity in their response.

• Kashmir’s development is funded by taxes paid by Hindus, yet there is a concerning pattern of fanatic behaviour exhibited by some Muslims towards Hindus. Despite 33 years passing, jihadist terrorism continues to persist in Kashmir without showing signs of abating.
