    Hats off to Police Department, First of all, Police Department should circulate warning notice in all WhatsApp user and social media user not to publish or forward any messages or pictures that could create problems in our society. Every week automatically warning message should come from the police department to all social media user account.
    Social Media should take some responsibilities also if any misuse happens they can’t take it for granted. Some kind of accountability should be there in that way our society can live peacefully.
    Due to wrong messages and news, most of the mob lynching and incidents happen, especially in India. The police department should be alert and active in this matter. Police Department should announce rewards if anyone brings this kind of wrong messages or pictures to their knowledge. When there is a reward every one willing to help the police department.

    The person who has the pervert mind create or add obnoxious masala to the existing news or events, definitely he is guilty, but the person forwards this news is also equally guilty. People got habit of reading in between the lines and pass judgement with half baked knowledge of the subject. Now they have caught one, if they catch few more cases then it will be a deterrent to others mischievous adventures. Jai Hind

    You said Hinduism is a peaceful religion. Agreed. But you psuedo people are not follwoing the same Hindu religion which allows (in Vedas) eating cows and using it as a sacrificial animal; and even kill people who eat cows. Forget about others, Why are you not following your own religion?

    Always go for root cause to solve any problem. Why still there is disturbance in the society...because whatever tells or does are having different identity. In each and every country there is problem...people are afraid and lost hope of tommorow due to conflict in between religions.
    God never created any religions...Only send as human beings to live on this earth. If god needed only ONE good religion in this world can make it within a fraction of second. Come out of shell and accept reality around.

    @Dev Kumar,

    The Almighty has given free will to human being to follow good or bad things. But at the same time the Almighty has the power to stop bad things whenever he wishes. He has the power over all good or bad things.

    According to prophetic saying( the nearest meaning)-" If the whole world wants to benefit a particular person, he cannot get benefited until Allah wishes and if the world wants to cause harm to a person he cannot be harmed until Allah wishes. Dargah is nowhere in the picture. Muslims are instructed by our Prophet (Peace be upon Him) to visit graves (not dargah) so that they remember their day of death ( to remember the limited days available in this life)

    @Dev Kumar,

    Regarding the concept of omnipotence of God, can you please tell me, from where this idea has been derived? I think It is not from the religious books. Just asking. Even I am not sure.
    Further, in my thinking God will not prefer to be present everywhere, as all places are not clean. I cannot tell everything in comments section. You can imagine about some places which are not clean(hypocritically for example). But the power and reach of God is surely everywhere.

    Its not enough to catch one and send him to Jail for 15 days. Police or Law enforcement agencies must reach to the root of the menace and wipe out such works and forces behind. We can see here how youth are used for destruction of society for someone's selfishness. We can now imagine the plight of young victim's parents or family!

    Its not like that bro. If someone is doing something wrong, cannot blame the whole country. Similarly, its not the Parties to be wiped out, its some Leaders, who use people like us by triggering some sentiments and get their agendas fulfilled. These elements should be identified and rejected by all of us Indians. Must question leaders for work, irrespective of their party affiliation. Need Leaders willing to serve all, not to be serviced.

    @Mangalurian atheist,

    The fact is that more and more countries like France, Australia, Czech Republic, Iceland, Japan are turning very fast towards atheism from their original believes.

    Meanwhile, since, as an atheist, you don't believe the existence of God; please answer me if it was a Chicken or Egg that came to existence for the first time in the earth?

    If your answer is Chicken, we all know that chicken comes from Egg.
    If your answer is Egg, we all know that Egg comes from Chicken.
    This implies that in the beginning, either Chicken or Egg has been created from the Almighty so that the life cycle of chicken continues.

    Similarly, we have to believe the Almighty as the Creator of all that exists in the earths and skies and in between them.

    Nawaz you are reducing Almighty to the level of chicken or egg just to prove His existence?

    If religious have the right to live in society, so too atheists. Don't ridicule just the atheists with your utterly religious mindset because some of the things practices and spread by every religion are much more funnier, illogical, ridiculous and startling than the theory that there's no God.

    Almighty's presence would not have been questioned had religions practiced peace and harmony. But today sadly, every religion propagates and practices violence in the name of protecting their 'God'. No religion is immune to violence.

    Even the Buddhism, the so called non-violent and peaceful religion is causing total mayhem in Myanmar. If bloodshed, violence is necessary to prove God's existence and protect 'Him', it's better to stay away from such violent God.

    I never reduced the Almighty to chicken and egg. I never said that atheists have no right to live in this society. I used chicken and egg as it was very easy to be understood by everyone.
    I just asked some questions to prove my point. If you convince me with the proper answer, then I will accept your idea of atheism. Otherwise you think properly and open heartedly about what I said.

    Nobody created Almighty. That's why he is called the Creator. You cannot compare the Almighty with other creations.
    We cannot see the current supply but we cannot deny its existence. We believe the existence of electricity when we get electric shocks from current. Similarly, regardless of thinking who created the Almighy, we have to believe in His existence by looking at His Creations.

    What science says about the first law of Conservation of Energy- Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. So , when extra energy cannot be created, Who created this Energy for the first time?. So, when we believe the existence Energy, we have to believe the source (Creator) of Energy even when we don't know how it came to existence.
