"We have demanded that weak Muslims are being exploited and the language being used is not heard even in savage society."

"Why only beef? Why not ban goats and chicken? Don't they also feel pain?"

"The government has a responsibility to ensure that justice is done."

"If my complicity is proved in Muzaffarnagar riots then give me capital punishment."

"Money is a small compensation for the life lost."
