I don’t understand one thing, who ever did this they didn’t broke the Statue.They didn’t through the Stones on St.Therese. They have been did this to whole Christian Community. But I Am not Surprised that none Of these people get caught and get punished. Now this is the time to show our unity to the people. Who dares to do these things against us. If you didn’t take any decision now, soon in future we will be stoned on the Road. Our houses will be Stoned.Im Sure still we will be sleeping in our houses just talking about Our Pride.
