“We are shocked and outraged with this blatant disregard for respect for the place of worship,” Das said.

Shivesh Pandey, an IT consultant and devotee of ISKCON temple said that Victoria Police has failed to take any action against people who are running a “hate-filled agenda” against the Hindu community, the news report said.

“In the last two weeks, Victoria Police has failed to take any decisive action against the people who are running their hate-filled agenda against the peaceful Hindu community,” The Australia Today quoted Shivesh Pandey as saying.

   Shame to these people. Born on Indian soil, they became haters of their
   motherland. From foreign soil and living on foreign soil, it seems their
   brains stop working long ago. If they have a GURU, they must understand
   their religion is a branch of Sanatan Dharma. Their Gurus all were HINDUS.
   Not Hindus had killed some Sikh Gurus, it was those who accepted the BOOK
   (Islam+Vatican). They who have done this are danows. They have no know-ledge of their own believe. Religion makes human human, not animal. This
   is a message of Sri Hanuman Seva Sena.
