New Delhi, May 14: : Indian Premier League Commissioner Lalit Modi made it clear that Saturday's match between Rajasthan Royals and Bangalore Royal Challengers will not be shifted from Jaipur in the wake of Tuesday's blasts in the Rajasthan capital.

Indians should boycott IPL as it has many Paki players.

Indians should boycott IPL as it has many Paki players. The sketch looks like that of a Paki cricketer. Along with the Paki cricketers their cooks and many ISI members as friends have arrived in India and that could be one of the reason for the Jaipur serial blasts. About 3 crore illegal mulsims from Bangladesh is present in India and many are in Jaipur. Congress government refused to deport them in spite of court orders. The fundmental reason is Nehru was a muslim grandson of a Delhi muslim policeman who escaped the British after the 1857. Indira was a muslim with a hindu name but also change to Islam officially in a London mosque to Maimoona Begum to marry Feroz Khan a muslim. Circumcised Rajiv and Sanjay were muslims and now it is a combination of christian muslim outputs in Rahul. One should read the one sided Indus water treaty written by Nehru for Pakis to understand the gravity of the problem.

Quite the contrary - terrorists have religion and those that caused mayhem across the length of the country in the past, all of them did subscribe to one book and they made sure that everybody recognize their subscription. They must be cursing themselves for the media in India and public personalities keep negating their subscriptions. While it is strictly untrue that all muslims are terrorists but what causes worry is that all terrorists on Indian soil so far have been subscribing to one book. Don't we need a brainstorming session?
