राज्य और केंद्र की सरकारें देश को जातीय-साम्प्रदायिक हिंसा-प्रतिहिंसा की आग में झोंक देना चाहते हैं। Y सिक्युरिटी सुरक्षा प्राप्त सांसद पर कट्टा लहराकर हमला हो सकता है तो आम लोगों की क्या दशा होगी? मैं #नारी_बचाओ_पदयात्रा पर था तो दरिंदा ब्रजेश के संरक्षकों ने हमला करवाया है। pic.twitter.com/zdXEsex6au
