    This is the result of fanatic ideology. It is based on I am right and others are wrong. They have been brainwashed with theory of vengeance to destroy those who does not belong to their group or religion. They are bunch of guys who has no goal in life. Dear brothers, do not spoil your peace of mind.

    Good always win against evil. For good people prosperity automatically bestowed by Almighty irrespective of religion which is true. These people are jealous about the prosperity as they cannot reach that level. Well said Mr. Shahnawaz and God bless you for your comments. Wish all the Muslim brothers EID MUBARAK.

    Extremist forces were trying to destabilize the peace again by provoking miscreant activity and their vote bank will be untouched. We, responsible citizens of this country should control our displeasure which is essential and the self control is essence of the holy month of Ramadan.

    Oh peace loving people, dont retaliate. Banner is not the symbol of peace. Your conviction is greater than this banner. Be steadfast in your conviction and perception and victory shall be yours. Have patience. Radiclas shall not succeed in their business. A happy eid to you all.
