  1. I believe the words of Swami Vivekananda “ one may be born in a church but one should not die in a church “ . Religious faith is good but religious fanaticism and bigotry are bad . In Chicago address wished that the bells of the Parliament of Religions should be the death kneels of narrow- mindedness and quarrels among religionists. Ignorance is the root of all evils and quarrels. All the religions of the world have their due place in this land . But stop preaching communalism.

  2. Jamia Miliya Students are 100% responsible for instigation and rioting. They never feel for the children and women to suffering. Muslims all over India cannot deny their communal preaching and anti Indian culture and activities. All Mullahs needs to be kept under strict vigil. They’re mostly preaching hate religion. All madrasah should teach prescribe school courses nothing else. Children should enjoy all fatalities including food and clothing and give them to attend sports activities.
