The Bhagavada Gita mentions that there are six kinds of aggressors who can be countered with violence, one of which is one who attacks with a deadly weapon. Under the circumstance there will be no sin involved in reponding with force against those who have perpetrated this attack. We are not pacifists, please let us not indulge in a sentimental way as is being suggested by Mother Citra.
