Now as usual these BJP ruled states will deny their illegal activities
If cops ready to check Muslim church, then they can find out more than this. Other religious people cant go inside their church freely. and in all portion. So they are storing weapons there. They use to do weapon practices also from there. They are getting illegal funding also. they are keeping money also inside the church
This is proof for the existence of saffron terrorism in India. This is also proof for BJP’s involvement in saffron terrorism. This is also proves that BJP is an anti-national force.
Uttar Pradesh was a hub of illegal weapons during Samajwadi party rule. BJP CM Yogi has succeeded in curbing illegal arms in the UP.
This is indeed a serious issue. Unfortunately not being highlighted by mainstream media in spite of direct revelation by the home minister. Reddy should pressurise the police department to deal with saffron terror with iron fist. As elections are nearing they may be conspiring for something big.
