Gulbarga, Mar 3: The city witnessed spontaneous protests by Muslims on Saturday, against offensive articles and images of Prophet Mohammad and the Koran posted on Facebook. The protesters demanded that the offensive material be blocked immediately, and action be taken against those responsible for posting it.
