    The MP and MLA from Kasargod must be duly felicitated, possibly honoured with a National award in recognition for the treacherous elements, residing in their notorious constituency !!!

    We public are fools if we see and believe the one sided story of these smuggling and drug crimes. This is a big smuggling industry wherein i believe everyone is involved. Has anybody followed up to know wat has happened with all the confiscated gold? Everybody is making money out of this. Gold and drug business and arrests will continue to thrive as it is big money making for all the parties involved. I hope u get the point.

    You comfortably want to downplay the main issue here .. That is ..everytime the name is of similar pattern. Better you do some self enquiry ..not only in this issue but also on other issues which we see and hear around us .. starting from twin tower bombing to many such attacks ..you always want to play the victim card and create some conspiracy theories .. There is some fundamental problem which you need to have a look at yourself ..Please have the courage and speak about it in your own community..it will do good to you ,your family, community ,the nation and the entire world.

    No boss. Wat i mean to say is that we public are fools to do hindu muslim in our comments. The people who are getting caught and people who are letting these criminals go scot free to continue their smuggling, dont have any religion. All they see is the money they can make in this.

    Their typical Diversion technique. Nowadays they have learnt a new plan to point fingers at Kasaragod or Kerala and try to disown their tribe when caught with pants down. For all other case, they will play religion card.
