DMK leader A Raja in a widely circulated video on social media has reportedly said that India is not a nation but a sub-continent having different practices, traditions and cultures in various states, drawing condemnation from the BJP that termed his comments as "hate speech" and demanded his arrest.  Well, I personally don't agree with that particular outrageous statement on India but what A Raja has said in particular about the Bilkis Bano case convicts and the BJP leaders/workers with regards to their raising of some religious centric slogans after the release of the above convicts from prison is 100% true.  Raja has tried to show their true face in the mirror by bringing all their misdeeds out in the open. I think that the leaders who need to be arrested today are the BJP leaders because it is they who are seen forcibly trying to impose the concept of one language, one religion, one tradition, one culture, one cuisine, one dress code etc everywhere and trying to destroy the diverse rich local cultures of different states of India to further their own communal agendas.
