Posa Drama.. Dirt inside and cleaning outside.. Cheap publicity.
Dear All,
Please wait and watch for the next, if Bhatta is there then don't expect the best. He is the poison snake never trust.
A very subject that to clean our city . Cleanliness is the half of faith - said by Prophet Mohammed.
Organizers should keep aside politicians and communal hate speakers.
Call all the communal leaders like Swamies, Fathers, Imams , students, teachers, lawyers, social workers, men and ladies , childrens etc. etc.
Its the time to clean your Hearts and Tongue from hatredness
DEAR RKM, PLEASE DO CLEAN THE HEART OF KPB....
PLEASE IN YOUR NEXT CLEAN HEART DRIVE, GIVE FIRST PREFERENCE TO BATTA....
Instead of spreading hatrednes, KPB should keep himself busy in such activity,
\Kali Dimag Shaitan Ka Ghar\""
instead of cleaning the clear roads, they should take up the ugly part of the road, where garbage is piled up.... that is really the deshbhakti.....this is all for drama......
Clean your communal mind first
