Speaking to reporters here on Saturday, Ravi said thousands of families have lost peace because of cattle theft, cow slaughter and 'love jihad', and if this ecosystem is destroyed, the communal friction will stop. He also stressed the need to put an end to illegal sand mining, gambling and drug peddling, stating that it funds the communal forces. Ravi said not to view the murders in DK as separate incidents, but as an action for a reaction. "If action stops, then there won't be a reaction," he said.
