India , Pakistan fought any War for political reasons.. soldiers killed from both sides are victims of war... we can not say 'Pakistan killed Indian soldier kaur ' or 'India killed pakistani soldien Khan'... with that sense , what student Gurmehar said is sensible .. RSS educated people like Simha may not understand this ... by equating Dawood with Gurmehar , he indirectly honored dawood's position.
Pratap simha is hebbulli,,,,real simha,,,every student is wid simha,,,not this low life kaur,,,,she has made herself luk stupid,,,,simha roar...

Don't COMPARE MARTYR's with POLICE MEN.
BJP IT Cell has set up sophisticated telephone exchanges to sell India's military secrets to Pakistan. One of their gang busted recently in Madhya Pradesh. Due to this many of our brave soldiers lost their lives under the present govt. Sanghis have been anti-Indian, anti-secular, anti-women fascist gang right from pre- independence till today. No wonder their opposition to this sister.
it was not the chaay wala who killed innocent Muslims, pregnant women and kids in Gujarat but his supporters
