Hopefully it is not a revenge attack or this could get out of hand
As I earlier said the previous day attack by sdpi people is more important to media than many other similar attacks as it was captured in cam
SDPI/PFI are no less than SIMI, they have brought Karnataka to its knees by attack on Hindus
