Mamata's insensitive comment on the victims and not able to provide punishment to the criminals time and again is leading her to a point where public has to take things in hand just like in Bangladesh and Nepal.

Women are not safe under any government... Sad to see how women are treated.

Justice must be done and an encounter must be initiated only if there is a strong CM or PM.

Hang them! Iske liye road show nahi krenge, saale dogs ke liye candle leke nikle hain.

So nothing really has changed since Nirbhaya. The country remains to be a piece of shit.
