[Reader-list] WHO WILL PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF INDIAN MUSLIM WOMEN??

[Vedavati Jogi]

demonstrations will not serve any purpose, muslims are not accepting common 
civil code under the pretext of 'secularism, pluralism' etc.etc. first ask 
them to accept the law of the land or else pack them off to pakistan or any 
arab country.
