CM should condemn acts of all communal elements

Chief Minister Pramod Sawant has said that communal hate speeches by members of one religion on matters and beliefs of others will be henceforth dealt strictly whilst responding to the controversial sermon of another Catholic priest and which had gone viral on social media. Well, the one thing, I just don’t understand is that why CM Sawant wakes up and starts issuing such type of statements only after he comes across some controversial videos of sermons of one or two Catholic priests on social media.   

Well, I personally feel that what the priest has said in his sermon through that particular video is completely wrong. Hey, how can this priest openly target a particular religion through his sermon and say that the Gods of this religion are all fake/false? Of course, as a priest, he has full right to promote his own religion in front of his parishners/devotees using some simple passages from his own holy Bible, but, has absolutely no right to mock and call the Gods of other religions as false/fake to show his own God as superior.   

Anyways, I just hope that CM Sawant will live up to his word and really start taking a strong action not just against certain priests in the State for giving their own controversial sermons but also against all the non-Goan right-wing members who are habitually found openly spreading communal hatred.
