Sir, what dignity you are talking about? Is this right way to fun? I have seen that act performed by Krishna. It must be condemned. Will they dare to make fun of st sc and minority in such way? The answer is no. Then why on us? Don’t we know how to spend first night? It’s harmful to be always positive. There will be many sighted persons will ask us about first night. Then what will we answer them? In short they have no right to perform such kind of shameless act. Thanks…
