    Order shoot at singht and clamp section 144 for 3 months. Shameless people. Members of two major religions are dagger drawn at each other. What a shame. This will lead to destruction. Neither muslims nor hindus are going to achieve anything but loss of life and destruction. No body will start this commotion out from blue. There are political patrons behind each and every communual incident.

    Our Home minister is the worst of his kind and useless and failed in all fronts like the then Central Home Minister Shivaraj Patil. Patil has aleast resigned and this Acharya is doing nothing but getting paid and enjoying tax payers' money. He has become blind to the incidents and deaf to the grievances. Just remove his security escort, I am sure, he dare not come out of his own house. I am afraid he may not go to wash room without security. Karnataka is cursed and has been going through a bad phase ever since BJP came into power. BJP is behind such unrest. If not why cant they cotrol and curb such everyday nuissance? What happened to the inteligence?

    When they know that such happenings will dent their image, they must have been more careful and active in curbing it. but they are not serious and they are the one who are stage managing the entire game. Time is running out. Criminals are roaming free and innocents are in jail. Patience has reached saturation limit and now its the time for explosion. Explosion means destruction and arsenal and fire. Nothing else. God please guide our nation.
