    This kind of mentality should be strongly condemned and strict action should be taken by the authorities. These are not the kind of behaviour one should encourage or let go of easily in these times of great distress. When the whole nation is in lockdown and efforts are underway to erase the presence of the virus from our country, there are forces which are trying to disturb the communal harmony.
    The police should not take this matter lightly. The perpetrators should be booked and strong message sent out that no one is above law.
