The constant communal issues in different parts of Indian states should be stopped as early as possible before it is too late. This is not a good trend at all. Hooligans from any community should not be allowed to vitiate India’s secular culture at any cost. I hope our Supreme Court should intervene in this matter.

Such communal issues might help politicians for their benefit, but it would damage India, which has for centuries been considered as a civilised nation. India has exhibited to the world that many cultures co-exist for centuries and we feel proud on this.

We have shown to the world that we are the most secular country in the world. Such communal sparks will damage our credibility hence this is the high time we should stop this. Such issues will force us to go into the dark ages.
