* No protests when over 7000 people in India die of hunger every day.
* No protests when a 16 year SC girl was r@ped by 12 FC men in Haryana.
* No protests when Haryana DGP, Rathore r@ped and killed a 14 year old girl.
Now media/students are protesting when a 23 year FC girl is r@ped by 6 BC men in Delhi.
I believe this a COVERT agitation by BJP/AAP against SC/ST Reservation Bill.
