We are shocked at the spate of attacks on Buddhist temples at Ramu and other places. Hordes of marauders swooped on the temples at dead of night leaving behind an orgy of destruction. They set the temples on fire, desecrated the statues of Buddha and destroyed century-old manuscripts. These despicable acts of arson and vandalism are a huge blow to our ethos of communal harmony. As the news reports suggest, the attacks were preplanned. So the masterminds behind the heinous attacks must be brought to justice. The law-enforcers have failed to provide security to those ill-fated temples. Now it is their duty to find out the culprits.
