    They won't be arrested, Parivar thugs and leaders won't be screaming from the roof top for sedition case against them, their religion won't be tamed and there won't be social media hastag etc. Because Parivar goons and their feeders are infallible, it is only Indian minorities mainly Muslims and Christians are wrongdoers. There should be hashtag ban teleprompter for deceiving their demigod Narendra Modi and exposing his incapability to speak from the heart not the script.

    100% eyewash just to pacify the minorities temporarily. I bet within 15 days the case will vanish into thin air. Trust me, I am quoting from my experience.

    This Rathotsav gathering is equivalent to Mekedatu Water for Padayatra. If Government is taking U TURN in Udupi case then Government must take back the FIR issued to Congress members also.

    Just an eyewash to fool the gullible public; preventive intelligence should have ensured this gathering should not never have happened in the first place.

    Authorities registered case on a Christian priest , who performed prayer with 6 members(with masks on and social distancing maintained) in Padukone Church in 2020 . Couple of days ago Rathostav performed in Udupi with thousands of public (no masks and no social distancing) , however no action from Authorities. Still BJP Government blame other parties, that they do minority appeasement. Which bird name it is "minority appeasement"
