"If the Constitution gives citizens the right to support any candidate or political party , we are unable to understand why the authorities are not listening to our repeated pleas and are making us suffer at the hands of few goons who have made our lives miserable. The concerned Sarpanch and his father are threatening us of dire consequences and we live under constant fear," Maqbool added.   Share This News with Your Friends on Social Network     Comment on this Story
