    It is sad that instead of praying to God earnestly, whom no one has seen, a few take extreme steps, thinking they protect God. Anything and everything including violence is justified in doing so! Where is our wisdom gone?? Lets meet God in the person of our fellow human being first.

    Internal terrorists who kill their own fellow Indians are more dangerous than external terrorists. Now, can anyone tell that Saffron terrorism does not exists ? Unless these desh drohis are hanged till death, they will keep killing honest and truthful people like Gauri Mamad, Mr. Pansare, Mr. Dhabolkar etc. Just hang these terrorists till death.

    The one's who supported to carry out such barbaric murders are coming out in the open slowly. The big fish is still at large.

    Now the country knows who is the real masterminds who doesn't want those who opposes their Hindu ideologies.

    No wonder the arrest of 5 activists recently done by the so called government which has ulterior motives before 2019 general elections to create fear and panic and it is a und emergency on the rights of the citizens.

    Only the Supreme Court is capable enough to handle these types of crimes by the elected people who are running the present government's both in center and at state levels.

    There is no clear cut evidence to relate the prime accused to this case. The loose argument is that computerized analysis of the CCTV footage with a helmet wore person matches with that of the arrested!!!
    I don't think any court will accept these foolish facts. The arrests are just an effort by the congi-jds govt. to bring a bad name to Hindu organizations.
