[Reader-list] How someone "well connected" got RIK screening Cancelled

[Pawan Durani]

Rashneek ,

Wonderful job done to expose the person who speaks something and ends of
doing exactly the opposite.

Sanjay kak teaches free speach while as in his blog he moderates many of
theviews which creates an argument opposing what he likes to propogate

Again Sanjay Kak got screening of "And the World Remained Silent" cancelled
at kamla Nehru College and when his got cancelled , the CRY BABY started to
CRY.

I even heard that when police caled him , Sanjay told the police that he was
not even aware that movie is being screened , and he ended up again on his
blog with what he does best .....CRYING.....

Also I have heard that Sanjay is planning to distribute the DVD of his movie
which euglosis Jihad and sepratism . I am sure the law would reach him .

It's good to be liberal ....but it is even better to identify a "hidden
agenda" of these kind of movie makers.
