12. PM On INDIA alliance: Their trouble is such that they had to take the support of NDA to keep themselves alive. But, out of habit, the arrogance of 'I' doesn't leave them alone.

Shame on those running 'Nafrat ki Dukaan', they sold pride of our soldiers'.

Their (opposition) pain is selective. They cannot think beyond politics.
