Attack on Churches - Let Hindus and Catholics resolve without Politicians

I was in Mangalore last week when churches were atacked by Bajrangis. It was a clear case of 'vandalims". There is no doubt about it. There can not be any justification for the manner in which these miscreants attacked the churches even though there is a strong case of "objectionable conversion" according to this Hindu outfit. In my view there are better means of protest.

But at the end there was a ray of hope of amicable resolution of diferrences by the leaders of both the communities. Unfortunately, at that point of time enterd the opportunist politicians just to take advantage of the situation with an oblique motive to capitalise the sentiments of the people for political gain. Now the issue is no more in the hands of religios leaders.

I appeal to the common man to continue the same kind of mutual trust and faith without being influenced by these political and religious leaders or media drama.
