हमारी मांग है –
▪️नूंह में DSP की हत्या की हाई कोर्ट के मुख्य न्यायाधीश या न्यायधीश के द्वारा न्यायिक जांच हो। 30 दिन में माफिया-सफ़ेदपोशों की मिलीभगत बेनक़ाब हो।
▪️केवल छुटभैया कारिंदे नहीं, असली खनन माफिया की गिरफ्तारी हो!
▪️DSP के परिवार को 5 करोड़ का मुआवज़ा व नौकरी मिले। https://t.co/QmvfNd3ULM— Randeep Singh Surjewala (@rssurjewala) July 19, 2022
