    Does DAWOOD-ISI’s Pimps runs New Delhi? BJP should take Stay Order in SC on this S Band Spectrum before it goes Commercial or the Investigation is over. After seeing LAND MAFIAS, ARM MAFIAS, BLACK MONEY MAFIAS, LAW MAFIAS, SPECTRUM MAFIAS etc..in Ministry. Is there any guarantee there would not be any NUKE MAFIA who would sell NUKES toTerrorists to make money under table? Call back all IB – RAW Officers from world wide and put behind Parliament to investigate them, what’s going on. Seems ANTI-NATIONALS are more in India than abroad.
