कानपुर में एक मुस्लिम रिक्शेवाले को पीटते और “जयश्रीराम” बुलवाते हुए सड़क पे घुमाया गया।उसकी डरी हुई बच्ची उससे लिपट कर रोती रही।रिक्शेवाले का कोई गुनाह नहीं।उसकी भाभी का अपनी हिन्दू पड़ोसन से कुछ बाइक लड़ जाने का झगड़ा है।पुलिस ने एफ़ आई आर की है।

I’m told #Afghan diplomats have offered #Taliban leaders in Qatar a position in a national unity government in return for halting the fighting. Why would they agree to this? The Taliban offered something similar last year & also offered Ashraf Ghani a dignified exit months ago.
