हमारी आज़ादी को भीख कोई मानसिक रूप से विक्षिप्त असंतुलित ही कहेगा-वह आज़ादी जिसके लिए लाखों ने अपने प्राणों की आहुतियाँ दीं-ख़ैर उनसे और क्या आशा?
लेकिन @navikakumar जी, आज़ादी के लिए इस्तेमाल किए गए इस सस्ते शब्द और वक्तव्य की आपने आलोचना क्यों नहीं की? या आपसे भी आशा बेकार है? pic.twitter.com/lk3dNsQ67V
