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

[Murali V]

Sonia having accepted the order of Leopold requires no proof as it is
universally known. Mass murders and Genocide in Zaire is also a known
fact.

By accepting the Order of Leopold, Sonia had to sign register signing
unquestioned loyalty and alegiance to the king of Belgium, which is
against the constitution of INdia.

V Murali
