The vicious attack on @Shehla_Rashid by the Sanghi trolls is a witch hunt. And now star TV anchors are conducting the troll orchestra. No arrest of a Governor advocating genocide of Kashmiris. But demands for arrest (or worse) of a young woman flagging human rights violations?.

A day after on all the talk on inclusiveness by @PMOIndia this is what happens in Seoni, MP. Muslim man being beaten on suspect of carrying beef and then asked 2 thrash his wife & say Jai Shree Ram. Hoping @DGP_MP will take some action. Truly sad.
