Haan soneya, tenu sirf Bhatti hi nazar areya aye is waqt mulk ich, hor kuch nhn.

A guy got friggin killed in police custody, his father got kidnapped by the goddamn police, and he gives out a statement the next day that he forgives everyone. The whole state machinery is actively trying to block the representation of the people through elections, media is being shut down, dissent is being punished with sexual torture in state custody, magr in mausoof ka sab say mara masla Bhatti hai. Honestly shameful.
