Totally rss want to do unrest in Karnataka. The elected representative from Mangalore don't know the value of Indian Constitution nor he know the meaning and responsibility of MP. Such a low grade fellow with worst attitude. His duty is to maintain law and order and to take care of the citizen l/o that he is with anti nations terror group. And threatening
to do bloodshed.
Seems his days r near.
Its shame for all those who voted Mr.Kateel, the MP who does not know even how to speak and the responsibility being an MP.
where is raheem uchil? he is missing??
Its time to wake up......you already deposited your money ...now barking ......poya ninna bandawal eethene......Pak flag hoisting...Go Kalla saganike ...Manipal Rape....Henda.....Gambling ...Pan......evishtu Bajrangdal amthhu chaddigala hanebaraha....saku nataka ....samanya janarannu maralu maduvudu nillisu
Please confirm retaliation on whom please clarify Mr kateel n group.
Why the district police dept kept quite on such terror groups and with their third rate leaders.
Hope state govt will take action on nalin. Elected people's representative's duty is to maintain law and order i/o that acting against the constitution is a Desh Drohi he is a terrorist.
This is the right time to take action on such criminals if not public mud stand together and retaliate.
Jai HIND!
lol... poor patient hindus sitting and watching leaders drama...
I think , nowadays , these leaders are not getting , as much support as they required....
nimage asttu desha bakthi iddre.. namm deshada gadi kaeeeri... illa andre yetto badwaru nam deshadalli ondu hottu outa illade saeeta iddare awarannu addru kapadi.. e reeti bogali yenu prayojane illa..
what abt attack on others? who will b responsible ?
People elected you as MP not to stage protest over unnecessary issue. Go to parliament and bring our 15 lack.
I think only Mangalorean cheddis never understand cheddi deception ???????
Jai sri ram .. He is right ...
