    Chief Minister , Home Minister and the incharge Minister should instruct the SP and the Vittal Police officers to arrest immediately those goonda, jobless fanatic miscreants and give them srtingent punishment. Who are those goons?Who are behind those thugs? Who gave them authority to destroy the Grotto of Our Lady?These type of jobless goondas have destroyed peace and harmony in DK district. These type of hoologans attack minorities in the name of Love Jihad , Conversion etc. Senseless and shameless fanatic thugs should be arrested along with their group leaders and put behind bars.We have trust in our police and the law of the land. Immoral policing should be banned and peace and tranquility should be restored. Christians are peace loving people. MP Nalin Kumar and MLA Rajesh Naik should look into the matter and ask the police to nab the coward jobless goons immediately.

    Till today Many innocent people have been killed in the name of Blasphemy as if God cannot defend himself and educated people witnessed those murders as mute spectators.

    @Critic mangalore whoom you will punish without knowing?Second when he/she was drunk,and done ,they have done under alcohol consum they will say.It looks not a very big loss ,(I just cant estimate the cost)Thatswhy simply forget it,it doesnt worth .Thatswhy throwout what they have installed there ,burn it,and simply do as if nothing happened.They will later understand we are not to move.When the person is caught ,then ask him to help to restore it as punishment.Weknow from previous experience,our own communiy persons were indulged in destroying the religious things so why not this time too?

    Forget about the MLA the culprits and it is the duty of the govt of state to find out the culprits and necessary action as per the law of the land. They need to restore the Grotto to its original place and with original design. Hope the early action by the govt to restore the grotto of Our Lady of Mother Mary.

    "Forgive them O Lord, for they know not what they do"
    Such incidents do very much hurt the faithful, but these are testing times.
    Our faith does not approve revenge, but guides us on the path of forgiveness.
    Let us strengthen our faith, as the external, physical identifications can be demolished, but remember the real church is built deep in our hearts and no one can destroy that church but ourselves if we resort to evil ways.

    Moral Policing, Love Jehad, attack on Minorities and their places of worship is the narrative that communal forces employ before elections to polarise voters. Nothing new except that this narrative has become stale and does not impress anyone.

    I am sure Karnataka and South India will give a befitting lesson to these communal forces in the next general elections.

    The Karnataka Police is most efficient as we have witnessed with the SIT that has cracked the Gauri Lankesh murder. I am sure they will be able to trace out these culprits and book them under the Goonda Act.

    "GOD IS ONE,NAMES AND FAITHS ARE DIFFERENT,HINDUISM,CHRISTIANITY,ISLAM,JAINISM,BUDDHISM,SIKHISM,JUDAISM etc ALL OF THESE BELIEVE IN ONE GOD THE SUPREME CREATOR WHICH IS KNOWN BY VARIOUS NAMES BUT IS ONE AND ONLY ONE THE DIVINE POWER.

    We need liberation from uncivilized miscreants. These are illiterate goondas and need to be booked as such. If Grotto gudis are on road side, its fair the government relocate them. Or else please clear the road side trees, kattes, gudis. shrines and kanike dabbis. We live in a religious society and not idols society. Anyone hurting the sentiments by damaging or destroying the objects of faith in other religions will be judges by God and the government need to take ruthless action.

All this comes from the evil one, no jobs so involved in evil deeds. The people who destroy religious structures have no education and cowards who come in the night.

    Ravi, Paul, your statement is logical however please come out of it and think positive. It is for God to punish & not for us to decide or Judge. If we also will be happy if they are cursed or punished then we are not worse than them. It only shows that we are only religious and not spiritual.
    God wants All souls to be saved hence He paid the price on the Cross. There are many incidents where similar people who went against God turned back after some time & started working for the same God. Hence just pray for them.
    Yes it is sad incident but use it as a spiritual weapon rather than disappointment.
