What kind of saint/swamy is he, provoking weapons!!!
HINDU Terrorists
Killing Father Of The Nation King Of Non Voilation "Mahathama Gandhi" now become a patriot. What a funny policy from these so called RSS brahmins. What ever they may say tthey may convict so no action is they ready to touch other caste people or they willing to eat togehter.
Now these so called saghi swamijis appealing to carry weapons what is their intention. Let them to carry first; let the brahmins carry the weapons first and play blood shed i/o insisting other caste peopole.
They will never come in front to all these criminal activities. Peoples are educated and able to under stand their religions.
If they continue with same cruel comments, sure they will face back lash very soon.
Reason criminal activity blood shed never written in any Hindu religious script. Only the book from RSS invite people for killing.
Hahahahaa.Terrorist Swami.
