Celebrating Milad is not the correct practice of ISLAM. Innovation in Islam by an ruler and people are practicing it and these issues...

I am sure that Hanuman jayanti processed was preplanned by goondas to create violence in the city. Police action not to permit these goondas to take out procession was just. Goondas who pelted stones on police and damaged Govt + public properties should be booked under goonda act and arrest the main leaders behind the unrest. Sangh parivar is trying to create unrest in karnataka to blame Siddu Govt.
