Kudos to the administration for not letting sentiments spiral into further violence and destruction. However to lend credence to the fact that it was not communal incident, members of both communities should have protested together for obtaining justice and shunned the murderers from society. Instead it was left to only one community to demand justice and ironically it is being reported as if the other community is being victimized by just demands for action and attempts to instill respect for law and order & basic humanity. There is no doubt that the murderers didn’t have any fear of consequences or for the long arm of law and inflicted barbaric grievous losses on a flimsy whim.
