  1. Whatever the present government says is all lie. They are never ready to discuss the problem with anybody. Instead, they are searching for a country who sells award, so that they can buy for modi and send away modi from the problem.

  2. Would Singapore allow any political protests outside the Singapore PM's office- different rules for different countries? Singapore, please look at tge " freedom " in Singapore before taking on other countries. 😂😂😂

  3. Dharmendra Pradhan's real problem is that he doesn't know how to write a resignation letter. That's why he hasn't resigned. Someone should tell him that online alphabet-learning courses are available. Many BJP MPs seem to be like this because they spent their time in cowsheds instead of going to school. We need educated people in Parliament.
