Its another 'Divide & Rule' stunt of congress. They hv been doing it since last 48 long yrs of their rule. The terms like minority, hindu-muslim, secularism, etc are engineered by congress & they keep repeating it loudly all the time. This incident is also crafted by congress to keep the fire on blazing. It cannot happen without the consent of our italian prime minister & political goddess of the congress party. Manmohan singh is nothing more than a puppet & has to go in the next election to accommodate undeserving rahul gandhi.

The sentence Ms Rita Bahuguna has uttered against Mayawati is extremely deplorable. But The BSP supporters should have kept patience and not damaged public property and her house. This thing has given a chance to make Ms Bahuguna a victim of violence, as Mr Azharuddin said in his statement that his congress party is "non-violent party", while congress supporters in Bengal set more than half a dozen buses ablaze in Bengal yesterday itself. True, nevertheless they are non-violent.
