बिहार की प्रिया दास ने मनुस्मृति जलाकर मुर्गा पकाया और फिर जलती हुई मनुस्मृति से अपनी सिगरेट भी सुलगाई. खुलेआम अंबेडकरवादी हिंदुओ के पवित्र धर्म ग्रंथ को अपमानित कर रहे हैं लेकिन इन पर कोई कार्यवाई नहीं होती. यह हिंदुओ के मुंह पर तमाचा मारा जा रहा है. कोई मीडिया नहीं दिखाएगा. pic.twitter.com/aawDqZhILR
