Too little too late. Wish these guys had jumped into action 6 months ago when it was pure mayhem. But still worth the praise.

Burkha Begum What happened to the Loni UP story which was intentionally propagated & circulated to disturb communal harmony in UP at this critical juncture by Pressititutes hypocrites & Libtards??
Will you all give an unconditional apology to the whole nation?

Why shouldn't strict action be taken against you for polluting the communal fabric??

🙏🙏🙏
