The ladies are the worest creatures on earth. The bible says that the lady-i.e. EVE is the cause for all miseries on earth. In maha baratha the princes KUNTHIDEVI THROWN AWAY HER NEW BORN BABY INTO THE RIVER. In Ramayana , the kooni, a lady, is SAID TO BE the cause for all suffering that the Lord undrewent. I CAN CITE INNUMERABLE EVIDENCES TO PROVE THAT THE LADIES ARE THE WORST. IN ALLL FAMALIES THE FIGHT BETWEEN THE MOHTE R-IN -LAW AND DAUGHTER -IN-LAW CREATES ALL PROBLEMS. IN 90% OF THE CASES THE FAULT IS ON THE SIDE OF THE DAUGHTER -IN -LAW. INDIA WILL COLLAPSE AND THE LADIES WILL BE THE CAUSE FOR THAT.
Can you please help in providing the same circular for Uttar Pradesh Police? I will feel thankful to you.
