    Vellanna nanji yeru malthondullerundhu kudladu maatha janakulegu gotthundu...pokkade dayegu anna niklu nanji malpuvaru..Did I say I will burst in your place of worship it is you who dragged this issue it is you said dragging someones place of worship ..I dont know wat type of wild enjoyment you ppl are getting by dragging other peple and their place of worship
    First of all masjid is place of worship not any political adda if you will you can burst it in your place of worship when modi got elected it is left to you not on somebody else house or place of worship we dont have problem it is left to you but dont think it otherwise....we dont burst crackers even when any congi or dongi got elected inside masjid...Those who shout against taliban in their rally are nothing different from them in thinking...Secondly I dont endorse URA's view did i say it ...I just replied for your comment when you bring somebody else place of worship into your silly moronic debate...Please try to shed your unwarranted hate...I dont hate any people based on their religion...I just replied when you bring somebody else faith or their place of worship into your silly debate.

    I quote yours: cos they feel life is celebration and a good life has come to an end and leaving for heavenely abode! doesnt mean they r not mourners!! Unquote.

    I never specified about any of the atheists matter in this news and you are specifying about atheists. God only should help you. Your response didn’t touch my comment.

    Dear Jagdish, Mangalore/Bangalore,

    I didn't mention about religious sentiments of the people . I asked vellano1 to explain.

    Jagdish, why these people glorified the death of URA with fire crackers. This is the question.

    In your comment you also feel happy of his death, your comment says so.

    Concerning to my faith in my God:

    Once a person dies he will be in a resting place till his judgment occurs. TILL THAT HE IS R.I.P. REST IN PEACE. AND THERE IS NO REINCARNATION WHATSOEVER. There should not have rejoice nor cry.
    People cry because their loved ones expired. Whereas what is it Enjoying with fire crackers???!!!

    I have seen much better athiests from close quarters!! HN (H Narsimhamurthy, whom I met and interacted during one of my job) was strong athiest and he believed no god exists! He exposed Puttaparthi saibaba like crazy!! but when he died, every one cried! I have had lecturers, who are athiests, and have been given all fitting tributes! .... but while they were non-believers in their own wisdom, they didnt go to extent of urinating on idols! its faith of a person, if he gets solace in it, nobody has right to object to it! Thats what we condemn!! and again, let me tell you, when one dies, its important to mourn, cos we should remember, we are too gonna die someday!

    Now this is atrocious!! I know, they are fools, and inhuman to celebrate! but arresting on what basis?? "Shanti kadaduvike"?? its not illegal if someone celebrate at others expense at all!! its as good as peaceful protest! ... In Bangalore, people dance around and fire crackers infront of funeral procession, cos they feel life is celebration and a good life has come to an end and leaving for heavenely abode! doesnt mean they r not mourners!!

    offlate cracking pataki itself has become an issue!! Govt shld ban it, I feel! .... Somebody finds its objectionable if crackers are burst near a mosque compound, when Namo elected... why? Dont u find NaMo worthy of a PM, just cos u didnt vote?? .... Few celebrate right in the middle, when Pakistan wins the match against India, by cracker burst..? so, u shld arrest them?

    else, Govt. should bring guidelines, when to burst crackers, and take signatures of all communitiy heads!!.. this is getting bizarre!!

    The fact is that there is no provision in the law to book someone for rejoicing death of a person, unless it causes public disturbance or hatred among the people/community.
    but the orders from the top are being obeyed to please some people and inconvenience the rival camp/party.
    misuse of political position is more evident than governance.

    At least in our KA, govt imposes Goonda act against rapists, whereas under "ACHHE DIN SARKAR" rapists and rioters get rewarded and ministerial berths.
