True Muslim Even in the age of 80 fights like an tiger. But RSS fellow in the age of 20s needs a group to attack on elder muslims.
RSS needs bunch of coward sena to attack an old man or woman. It shows that they are not only coward but impotent too.
They are coward because they are the followers of Rama, one who used monkey sena to save his wife from ravana.
How they can respect?they have pros.childreans they are living in bhat house.bhat is there father.chaddis are animal.
better it is not to live than to live like a coward.
80 years old one man against a bunch of cowards proves it all.
this is an Inhuman act. The culprits should be punished.
Oh shivaji babu, I just pray that your parents should not face same problem.. Then who will you blame? Family members? YOurself or any other! every dog has a day my dear babu.
seriously inhuman act, beating elders not good.
these are not anti social these are terrorists and anti national islamophobes who are terrorising the common man.
Dear Shivaji,
From where you received that the aged couples are attacked by relatives? If it is true its inhuman. However, no relatives will attack the old couples such way where they cannot bear the pain. No media reported that the attack was by relatives, you have to clarify the source of your news.
This is not new in DK, RSS thugs and police attack aged Muslims people at thier home or outside. There are ample evidence, RSS thugs dressed in Police uniforms attacked homes in Ullala and other places in Mangalore recently. A MLC from BJP admitted that 60% RSS thugs are in Police force in Mangalore.
Kalladka is Communally sensitive since a long time, Police department sincerely work in this area to bring the peace.
SToP bending & bowing to the CHEDDIS. Dear authorities they are dragging you to HELL by portraying their FALSE history to U. Recognise the EVIL & GOOD and Support the GOOD ...
God has given you power of authority to protect the masses from such EVILS. One day U will need to answer for the injustice done to the innocent... PONDER & THINK before U encourage and support CHEDDis.
Muslims Should UNITE, its getting out of control.
The DEVILS dont recognise even elderly people & women. They attack like COWARDS...
To the HONEST hindus, dont put the AXE in your leg by supporting these devils..The one who gave SOUL (LIFE) will question when he takes back our LIFE ... JOIN hands with the secular people and stop supporting the LIARs who deceive YOU by putting FAKE FEAR to unrest the SOCIETY.
