as per Hindutva workers they are not working for India they are working for their political masters, so if they commit crime should they be acquitted. Do you know who is making this arrests they are Hindus they are people like us, who put the country first and will arrest any amar akabar Anthony regardless of political masters or religion…
This foul mouthe KSE should know who hoisted Pak flag in Sindagi, where was this Eshwar when Sri Ravi Shankar shouted Pakistan Zindaba infront of Rajnath Singh, defence minister who remained deaf and dumb. Who went to Pakistant without invitation to eat Beef Biryani in wedding and who took Sari and Bangles as gift to Pakistanis. BJP's IT cell in MP caught passing sensitive defence information to ISI which resuted in death of hundreds of our brave soldiers. You anti-national Sanghi scums are a disgrace to human race. Dont open your ugly mouth, you dirty creature now talk about private part of Muslim males, shame on you brain dead .....
Marle... Looks like escaped from mental hospital.
