The Durga Mata Jyot Yatra is a significant event for Hindu devotees, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil and invoking blessings from the goddess. The intrusion of such a sacred procession by an act of disrespect has amplified concerns about the potential for communal strife.
The incident has sparked outrage with users online expressing anger, calling for strict action against those responsible behind the act.
It’s high time Hindus just stop complaining every time and they should give a Tit for Tat.
