So you can say whatever you want to in India? Not having a go at India or anything but this mans a hypocrite. Just remembered the painter who made inappropriate paintings of Hindu Gods and who got exiled quite rightly in my opinion (think he went to some Gulf State). Anyways he got kicked out for offending peoples beliefs, but when India does that its fine, but whenever Pakistan does something similar all of a sudden its real bad, its Pakistanis, they "suck", they are extremists,etc etc.
