Both this group and Hindu Group who believe in moral policing.
Please go to film theaters and stop showing all love and romantic films.
You can not find single film without so called HERO & HEROINE.
People flock into the theater with family paying lot of money.
If you people are really concerned of misbehavior of the public, then please top of these films in the theaters. Then You will be succeeding with big result instead of going to correct small group with 4 persons.
This is the place where you have to focus. You will have massive result and satisfaction. Otherwise it is YOUR DOUBLE STANDARD.
Viren....what you have to say about your uncultured chaddi Bros who involves in similar act very often?
VIREN ....both attacks are same ...but regret and support are different here as you know ......

Umma gang started giving chumma to CD. But here people forgot to comment about the real topic: That is madrasa graduates trying to implement sharia law in India by creating ruckus in resprot.. hahaha
Many of my comments sent to other news portal in Mangalore always rejects the news which is anything against their interest. Some time I too think that it is supporting some organization.
Here It is Coastal Digest , even the comments against them they simply publish (example is above Vimala Nasargi's comment.. Hats off CD.
@ VIMALA

Thank god. The victims, the attackers and the police-all are muslims. no chance for communal clash.
Ham kare tho balathkar; thum kare tho chamatkar.
If Bajrang Dal activists do same thing it will be called \immoral rowdism. But msulism will be called \"moral police\"..
This news portal should change its name from coastal digest to communal digest."
