Editorial viewpoint

Lakhs of Hindus have so far renounced their religion and converted to Christianity or other religions, but incident of such people getting beaten up by Hindus has never happened ! However, ex-Muslims are being beaten up for renouncing Islam. What do Secularists have to say about it ?
