Instead of complaining they should check the VEDAS first and follow how vedas says to worship . That is the core scripture of hinduism, people are diverted from decades from the scriptures and mindwashed to follow the cheddis version of hinduism which is against Vedas of worshiping one god without the image or idols.
Police, you are right....May be ----Some miscreants have used a Muslim name to disrupt peace like Bhatkal Meat / Nagabana case......Who ever may have done this mischief, his both hands should be cut .....
CD please don't twist the facts. His name is \Jabbar Kudroli\"."
NA TASYA PRATIMA ASTI... It means telling the TRUTH that there is no image of God and the people should stop worshiping the man made objects instead Search for TRUE GOD , who created U ME and all that exists... Did U ever questioned Y vedas asks not to worship Idols...... Please read and understand what is TRUTH and What will happen if U worship the man made objects...
