Gota and BBS on the sky now

Pawan Saturday, 27 April 2019 09:13 PM

This should have been done earlier. Hope BBS and JHU will be added to the list. Singling out a particular groups of a religion would be wrong as the BBS and JHU have acted in violent matters prior.

Thanks for gota, all your plan and worked out nicely to get poor votes for upcoming election. But remember thats only your dream

Ban the president and prime minister too. They should be prosecuted and gave the full force of justice for their part and inability to prevent this massacre. The state has failed when obvious information was available prior to attacks. To make things worse Ranil said to a Sky news that laws weren’t there to apprehend any local working for a foreign terror group. Army and security forces is once again dealing with this mess created by this govt and no use of a govt if all they do is hold people to ransom and brush things under the carpet for political mileage at the expense of people lives.

Too little too late. You too got blood on your hands.

ACJU is undeniable extremist group which sows many an extreme ideology. So, first of all ACJU must be BANNED.
