  1. Yes. He wants to be another Gandhi. He wants Muslim love – something that no once can get. He is watering the roots of evil, providing funds
    to Madrisas to teach hate to little children. These are Madrisas which teach children to spit on Hindu dieties, and that Hindus are kafirs and should be killed. Can you imagine that, Besides Modi many Chief Ministers also provide funds to Msulims – to grow and kill us.
