Comments

Its unfortunate that innocent persons are being charged of hate speech whereas real hate mongers like prabhakar bhaat, purohit, Mutalik etc etc are let free by police to give any speech. No action is being taken against these hate speakers. Law enforcing authorities are soft for real hate speakers of sangh parivar and filing cases agaisnt common speakers of other orgaisation. .
