[Reader-list] Security stepped up in Gujarat town after fresh clash

[Pawan Durani]

Dear Anupam C,

Thank you for your post.

You have no idea why the Hindu youth was killed but you had a lot of
understanding on why a police inspector was shot...Did you know why
the inspector was shot ?

I have just posted a news item which comes from a respectable news
agency called PTI.

Good going .....

God Bless....  #Mirchi
