The Kerala Story is a reality. Because forced conversion is a reality. Because ISIS is a reality. Because Kerala Muslims rushing off to fight for ISIS is a reality.

For how long will we as a nation refuse to address this reality? My views on @TimesNow: pic.twitter.com/G7DzsemJv8

स्मृति ईरानी प्रियंका गांधी को मुसलमान बता रही हैं और मोदी The Kerala Story के बहाने मुसलमानों को आतंकी।

स्मृति महिला खिलाड़ियों की गुहार नहीं सुन रही, मोदी देश पर ध्यान नहीं दे रहे; सिर्फ चुनाव प्रचार कर रहे हैं। झूठ और दुष्प्रचार कर रहे हैं। pic.twitter.com/JSVVUJpLm0
