Creating all bogus claims
Useless MLA Fit for nothing. running his fathers dynasty..
Terrorist Poojari having terror links with rightwing terror groups cannot be ruled out. Today Siddaramayya admitted that RSS and BD memebers are terrorist. But sad part is that our judicial system could not able to ban them due to the monopoly of rightwing groups within the system. On the other hand Zakir Naik was framed under the strategy who was not proved yet guilty and become the target of communal govt merely for popularity who sheltering domestic terror groups. On one zide domestic terrorism on full swing but not banned and on the other side ZN banned for nothing. This is Indian communal Democracy.
