Editorial Perspectives

• This proves that Muslims become fanatics in their childhood itself, because they are taught to hate Hindus in the childhood. These fanatic children who pushed Hindu boy into fire today, will throw bombs at Hindu houses in future.

• Government should not stop at sending these so-called ‘minors’ to Juvenile Detention Centre. Considering their fanatic nature, they must receive harsh punishment.
