    As soon as Yeddy lost his quest for power, in some groups some people got in as new members with girls name(fake ids)& are spreading totally irrelevant posts with religious defamatory content on social media like FB & Whatsapp.
    Solution for this is ignore, or report the same to police with admin's names too.
    They want to continue polarization until 2019 elections by portraying other minority religious people are against majority community. People belonging to all the communities need to stop this hidden agenda of a particular org. which wants to control all others through this hate mongering for political gain.
    I had warned some of these people but they are emboldened by political backing & are continuing the same till today.

    Whats wrong in his posting bro? . He raised valid points which you cannot digest btw. Yes, we all aware communal postings are circulated by only one political party in the country which paves hatred among the community and polarize the vote as well.

    Hi
    I didnot say any comments on the article. I did mention related to the errors in the English language expression.
    Sometimes it becomes" Ek desh ki boli doosri desh ki gali".
    Example is it "leaving or living " ?
    Language needs to be expressed properly.

    If you see any religion based post on social media please ignore it. The person who is posting it not a real Hindu or Muslim ot Christian. They are paid to spread hatred on social media.Let us live our life as we were before the birth of the social media.

    These days tools like whatsapp and facebook have been used extensively to create hatred amongst communities. It is time that they make these utilities as paid utilities in India (subscription) atleast so that their access is limited to only people that actually need them.
