    All these Mandirs must be renovated as per
    their old design.
    Pandit must live in these Mandir and govt
    must pay them salary.as per 7th pay commission with rank of Superintendent of an office.

    It is disgusting to see the list of prayer places and mandirs destroyed, pillaged as if we were living during the time of Aurangzeb. All this happened between 1986 & 1996. Why hasn’t our print media which would have gone bezerk had even a mosque was touched, not reported such incidents om day today basis. What was the party jn power ruling India, the corrupted Congress doing those days with the shameless PM-Mouni singh & co photoshopping with Yasin Mallik- the dreaded terrorist of those days who killed thousands of Hindus in Kashmir without any remorse? It s high time the BJP restored all these temples with gusto. One wonders, what yhese Moslems have against idol worship, so long as we dont have Mohammed as an idol?

    2. UN Security Council – how many resolutions passed?
    3. Secular English press in India
    4. Western media
    5. Secular Bollywood owned by Bombay underworld

    The sad story of Kashmir is cultivation of Jihadis on our soil systematically by the state specially sponsered and paid by Pakis . The centre govt is equally responsible to give doles to the local admin and pisful abdullas on some way or other.

    These bastards ensured removal of the Pandits from valley , breaked our temples, raped and killed our mother and sisters including our brothers. This ghost will always be behind them in days to come.

    Modi govt must ensure their return, remove 370 and 35 A immediately. The UCC is the one step further solution to this filthy mindset including Population control measures at BharatVarsha.

    No body will tolerate such adocity, to demolish such brutal activities only the whole country is supporting Narendra Modi. One nation one law and nobody is above the law, this is what India wants now.
