Do you really think the justice has been served in
Gujarat? And no one's living in concentration camps
any more?

And this number of Kashmiri pundits killed... you
folks always come up with a different number.
Sometimes one of you says 3000, then 8000, then
40,000. Please decide it for once. I am not making fun
of this - I know all the pain and suffering someone
gets, but lets make a mockery of things by hurtling
stones at each other.
