It could be planned by Modi himself and God saved this poor lady (?) ANything is possible with that Prime Shameless Liar. Remember, He hasn't tioll date clarified on his marital status. In obe of the interviews he even said that he is not married! Such is a person whom Indians preferred to be PM and this was coz he was "mastermind" of 2002 gujarat violence!
Pakoda Minister busy in delivering justice to Muslim women.
*Modi claims that he deserted his wife to serve Indians. Whether he thinks that she is a Pakistani?*
Hubby is damn busy in desh seva activities like triple talaq politics and sending saree to Pakistan PM’s wife. May God save this woman
