[Reader-list] Fwd: stop the award to narendra modi

[Rajendra Bhat Uppinangadi]

Oh, Shilpa,   where is your concern for the 60,000 families living in camps
at Delhi, displaced from their homes in Kasmir, should we not extend rewards
and awards to rahul maino, Sonia Maino for the live in relationship of Rahul
with international enterprise of Venezuela.?And Sonia richly deserves for
the award for joint rule of kashmir with once Mehbooba next with Omar, but
least concerned about the displaced humans.!

Regards,

Rajen.
