Draft of email:

Sir,It was really sad to hear/read the news of desecration of the 1000 years idol of Lord Adinatha (July 25, 2012 – on the holy day of Lord Parshwanath’s nirvan day) in front of the Jain Temple in Allur village of Chitapur taluk of Gulbarga district. We all are shocked-not only Jains but all who read it. After all it was a 1000 years old and very important heritage and also a remembrance of the great past of Rashtrakutas and Jainism.It is really shame on those miscreants who blasted the idol using dynamite. We request you personally and to the state government to arrest the miscreants and punish them and provide security to all Jain centers in the state, especially on such places like Allur where no or very less Jains reside.Please sir – do the needful as soon as possible- we are already belongs to minority religion- govt must secure our heritage and our minority rights.
Thanks,
