कितना डराओगे?
कल मेरे ऑफिस में फ़ोन कर किसी ने मुझे डराने धमकाने की कोशिश की और मुझे जान से मार देने की धमकी दी!
यह कैसी हताशा है?भारतीय लोकतंत्र में विश्वास रखने वाला तो यह हरकत नहीं कर सकता। ऐसे असामाजिक तत्व बस इतना चाहते हैं कि मैं सच को सच ना कहूँ! यह थोड़ा मुश्किल है। pic.twitter.com/XCxiGtkBsx
