tiz is banjrangi jihad or hindu jihad or kesari jihad modi jihad or shajihad or shaobh jihad no voice from RSS KESARI GROUP means A hindu boy can kill or rape a hindu girl for HINDU JIHAD
Humanity lost another precious life, may God Almighty bless both victim's & accused family to come out of this tragic loss and shock. Because of the division created by power hungry politicians and ungodly religious leaders, we are forced to view every incident through COMMUNAL angle, very disappointing. May God show mercy on us!!
When Amith Sha ji in Karnataka it was a best timing for a communal riot. But that boy's name shows hindu. What a loss. Sad !!
Shocking. These boys are rogues. Is there any place in the world where there are only females and not males? I wanna go and settle in such a place.
I heard that BJP leaders are extremely disappointed because they lost an issue as the accused doesn’t belong to Muslim community.
