Murugan, speaking to reporters said, in the past, I had worked here. So I know about the situation here and I know the people of Mangaluru want to live in peace. I need some time to study the current situation here after which actions will be taken as per law. All are aware that this place is communally sensitive. We will take unbiased steps as per law.
When a communal riot occurs, the very next day people forget about who instigated it or who created disharmony and instead talk about police and intelligence failure and this will continue. He said, people have to live in peace and harmony and not indulge in communal violence.
