These two idiotic minister must be thinking people are fools. Now take action against the police for sleeping all these time. They are the custodians of the Law of the Land.

Deshabandu, Please understand that by doing good deeds you cannot wipe out your past sins. You must face charges for assaulting the Petitioner in the FR case where SC held against you

A total public eye wash. The big fish are very safe and those are caught are with 10 to 25 milligrams. A laughing stock to the world.
