    Whatever our Pseudos say, disrespect to religious centre would attract only wrath of the people following that religion. Cow is worshiped by Hindus, & here skull is brought in & naturally, these sort of activities will widen gap between religion. Similar activity was done in past in Sharavu Temple & some temples. CID probe should be done to investigate & bring the culprits to justice.

    Idol destroyers only can desecrate durga statues. They get protection from Government especially from people like Salman Khurshid.

    For God's sake stop blaming communities... You will only create more resentment and hatred. those who indulge in violence don't belong to humankind. We start sitting on judgement on each other and vitiate the atmosphere further. It is true that there are politically motivated forces behind the attacks. Let the investigations take place after which we may analyse the situation. I request the Daijiworld to disallow and censor the rash and mindless statements.

    Praise be upon the Lord

    Oh my! Kasargod in the news again,this place is bursting at its seams with ISI(oh sorry IUML) agents, the cops do nothing because of political interference and of course the much maligned secularism( which in Indian context means anti majority-ism). Kasargod is a godforsaken place, those rich enough had said goodbye and moved elsewhere like mangalore to live amongst civilized people, those not so rich enough are making the last stand which is why we see sporadic violence, the wolves are making ground everyday. I cry for my beloved country

    I guess this is a recreation of "Pakistan flag hoisting" scandal. Hope truth will prevail. All pseudo’s try whatever in your urn to destabilize this country your plot will not see the day of the light. You will be put to shame, defeated every time. It is just a matter of time. India (especially Mangalore) will not be a Taliban for sure.

    Guys stop fighting in the name of religion. Every religion has a history, respect it ... Rather than stoning / destroying public property . Concentrate on your future. Other than hurts & hatred no one will gain anything from communal fights ...
