Editorial Perspectives

• In a Hindu-majority country, secularist political leaders of the country and progressives never dare to say that people who oppose the procession of Hindus in front of the mosque are not secularists.

• It would not be surprising if someone demanded that the mosques which prevent religious processions of Hindus deliberately and attacked should be demolished by bulldozers.
