Editorial Perspectives

Hindus feel that religious fanatics should not even dare to attack Hindus while there is a Government of Janata Dal (United) and BJP in Bihar.

It would not be wrong if somebody thinks that ‘if the Hindus have started retaliating the religious fanatics in defence, since the Police and the Government have failed to stop the attacks on their religious processions by fanatics, then Hindus cannot be held guilty’.
