“#Arrest_Prakash_Jha Looking at the global repercussions for the said “blasphemy” of the the most peaceful religion of the planet, We Hindus will never ever dream to counter in that fashion! But there is a limit to “Tolerance”! We demand constitutional justice!”
“If you make fun of Hindus, Bigot Hindus will Boycott you. If you abuse Hindus, Bigot Hindus will again Boycott you. If you make fun of “Peaceful” religion, You will be beheaded peacefully. #Arrest_Prakash_Jha.”
“There is a line between a #GodMan and a #ConMan…#Arrest_Prakash_Jha because it might take several life times for people like him to understand that…For #name, #fame and #money, you people have completely lost your moral values.”
