A sane voice amidst hatred, intolerance and violence is silenced for ever. It is a great loss for all secular forces in the country. Although he was initially the Head of Bajrang Dal in the state known for all wrong reasons, he repented & fought against their ideologies tooth and nail. It is indeed a great loss for secularists in the country. RIP dear Mahendra Kumar. May your ilk expand & prosper.

Very shocking and unfortunate death. I used to watch his JANSDWANI programs regularly. His ideology is 'be a good Indian' irrespective of caste, creed and religion. He was a great orator, an organiser and a reformer. His untimely death is great loss to the society. May his soul rest in peace.

VIDEO:AN eye opener to all religious/communal hate mongers.High time for them to listen and get converted not by religion but to bring about a change in themselves. For the betterment of the society.Mahendra Kumar has directly confessed to jesus christ and I am sure Lord has pardoned him .Hats off to you sir.May your soul rest in peace.

Whoever does good deeds will be rewarded in the hereafter and whoever does bad deeds will be punished. Let us endeavor to do good for the society because this life is short. Let us make it sweet. Rest in peace dear Mahendra Kumar, world has become poor because of your departure.
