Unnecessary interference is the reason for the rivals.
The rival between the communities has become a problem in South Canara. Its because the police are not very strict. The police should be unbiased in our judgement.
The clash between communities is increasing in Mangalore. Why?Is the Government not strict in patrolling, the person involved in such must get as stern punishment others must fear to get into such.
This is cheap mentality and for no reason creating problem. Is anyone born with a Bible , Quran or BhagavathGita in his or her hands. It is we who give a religion.
