[Reader-list] Another 'encounter' averted in Jamia area?

[TaraPrakash]

So we are reaching (if we haven't already reached) that stage where we will 
defend the chain snatchers and other criminals on the basis of their faith? 
Hindus will give protection to Hindu chain snatchers, pedophiles, molesters 
and Muslims will do likewise? A Hindu thief will scream for help in the 
vicinity of Jhandevalan (RSS office) and Muslim thief close to Jamia?

All I can think of is Kamleshwar's "Kitne Pakistan".
