फिरकापरस्तों के हवाले वतन साथियो (कँवल भारती)

      मुरादाबाद के कांठ में जनता और पुलिस के संघर्ष से बचा जा सकता था. किन्तु, जिला प्रशासन ने मुजफ्फरनगर के दंगों से भी कोई सबक नहीं लिया और सरकार की मंशा के अनुरूप एक गुट को खुश करने के लिए दूसरे गुट के खिलाफ कार्यवाही करके पूरी फिजा बिगाड़ दी. प्रशासन को तब तो और भी सावधानी बरतनी चाहिए थी, जब उसे … Continue reading फिरकापरस्तों के हवाले वतन साथियो (कँवल भारती)
