Great news that an Anti-Indian trying to obstruct Progress and development of Gujarat and thereby of India on command of some political parties and with the help of the foreign funds received by them as an NGO, has been detained.
Soon, each such Fake activist who in the name of social work does Anti -India propaganda and activities must be detained and be given severe and harsh punishment and their real face must be brought in front of the public.
