[Reader-list] Ultras target Amarnath yatra; explosive defused

[A.K. Malik]

Hi,
        Had this been done to Muslim pilgrims, the whole world would have burst.God forbid,if it were in India and there would have been Secularists crying foul. But Hindu pilgrims need no sympathies, this is what am able to get from the media and the Secularists on this forum.
Regards

(A.K.MALIK)
