@AmanChopra_ का सटीक प्रश्न
बुलडोज़र रुका,पत्थर जिहाद रुकेगा❓
🔸”80" को पत्थर पड़े,'20" के साथ सब खड़े
🔸अंसार के साथ #सब, हिंदुओं के साथ #कब❓🔸बुलडोज़र पर तो ब्रेक लगा
हिंदू त्योहारों पर पत्थरबाजी की #दंगाई #मानसिकता पर #ब्रेक कब❓🔸पत्थरबाजी से नहीं,बुलडोज़र से #दिक्कत pic.twitter.com/vobLQX4KjJ

- He time and again tried to ekove Hindus on his show like in one of the episodes he gave the statement like, “in this country more rights are provided to roingihas rather than Hindus and in this country hindus are living as tenants.”
देश मांगे 'बुलडोज़र राज' ?
बुलडोज़र की बहस पर पक्ष विपक्ष के अपने अपने दावे #DeshNahinJhukneDenge #indiawithbuldozer #jahagirpuri #JahagirpuriViolence #Bulldozers @AmanChopra_ pic.twitter.com/tXRjKbHydC— News18 India (@News18India) April 20, 2022

समाधान मतलब अवैध निर्माण की छूट ?
मतलब दंगा नहीं तो अवैध निर्माण सही ?
फिर जब सब कहेंगे कि हमें अवैध निर्माण करने दो नहीं तो हम दंगा करेंगे ?
फिर ?इसलिए
सबका इलाज, 'बुलडोजर राज'
दंगे का भी और अवैध निर्माण का भी। https://t.co/6t8vO2sAi8— Aman Chopra (@AmanChopra_) April 20, 2022
अभी थोड़ी देर में डरा हुआ मुसलमान, मुस्लिम खतरे में, भारत में मुस्लिम genocide या एंटी मुस्लिम इंडिया टाइप ट्रेंड होगा,थोड़ा रोना धोना होगा,भारत को गाली वाली बदनामी ब्रिगेड एक्टिव होगी।
फिर एक ब्रेक के बाद
अगले दंगे की प्लानिंग शुरू होगी।
शायद बुलडोजर इस चक्र को तोड़ पाए।
