“When we visit and come out of a temple or gurudwara after worship, we feel peace of mind, happiness and bliss. But you must have seen that (people) come out of a mosque and attack immediately,” Thakur told reporters here.

"Certainly a system of worship, where such ideas are imparted that you leave a place of worship and attack society, can not be termed as `shreshtha' (great) . This is not humanity, this is not compassion," she said.
