Editorial viewpoints

• Awhad didn’t like Hindu community being awakened against ‘Love Jihad’ through the film, so he is trying to falsify it. Such statements will not fool the public.
• In the past, Awhad opposed the encounter with jihadi terrorist Ishrat Jahan. It is a stigma to democracy when politicians like Awhad constantly sycophantize religious fanatics and promote anti-national views to gain votes.
• Why is Awhad silent about the incidents of – 2,200 girls went missing from Maharashtra in March, six Hindu girls fled with Muslims in Ulhasnagar within a month ?
