Attacks in the backyard of Lord Shiva

Today there was a live feed on a local tv
(we managed to watch it when the light
came for about 4 hours for the entire day)
where a press conference at the Pashupati
premises was interrupted by blows and kicks
of an 'unknown' group. Its called unknown
though everyone knows who they are, seen
clearly by the camoflouge combat dresses of
the attackers. People were targetted and
attacked savagely, not even the journalists
were spared. It was just another show of
how low we have stooped to become uncivilized.
Reminded me of Lebanese-local people
riots in Sydney some time back.

The conference was called by the supporters
of the traditional appointment of south indian
priests in the greatest Hindu temple, that of
Lord Shiva. I guess its the 'People's' religion..
if you can see the pun intended here.
It was another display of the current lawlessness
in the defeated nation and helplessness of the real prople.
