    Let all other religions practice tolerance and not just the Hindus. The other minority community which are reacting immediately with BLASPHEMY, FATWA or DEATH THREAT should first change their mindset and please note that our country is not Islamic to follow the rules. Otherwise, these people should migrate to other countries where they can lead life according to their principles.

    I request all the Hindus to not get offended by this Facebook post . We are Hindus and we should know to be tolerant towards insult to our religion. We should not be like those religions who call for death sentence for blasphemy. A Facebook post cannot diminish the value or respect to Kedarnath shrine. Only fools & intolerant people believe in killing people for blasphemy.

    Why should they? Facebook or Twitter stand for freedom of expression and free speech. We need to be tolerant towards insult to our religion. Didn't French government print one million copies of Charlie Hebdo magazine containing the blasphemous content even after the attack.

    We do not require any aggressor from outside to destroy us or break us. Facebook ,Twitter and Whatsup is enough. People have become so sensitive, anybody can post anything on a mobile phone and create riots or disturbance
