But the total meaning was that the community felt that it was being targeted. The extremists are taking law into their own hands. Nobody should be allowed to do this. We told the prime minister that the atmosphere of fear is creating with gauracsha and love jihad.

Law enforcement agencies are not doing their job rationally."
