    A sane voice amidst hatred, intolerance and violence is silenced for ever. It is a great loss for all secular forces in the country. Although he was initially the Head of Bajrang Dal in the state known for all wrong reasons, he repented & fought against their ideologies tooth and nail. It is indeed a great loss for secularists in the country. RIP dear Mahendra Kumar. May your ilk expand & prosper.

    Very shocking and unfortunate death. I used to watch his JANSDWANI programs regularly. His ideology is 'be a good Indian' irrespective of caste, creed and religion. He was a great orator, an organiser and a reformer. His untimely death is great loss to the society. May his soul rest in peace.

    VIDEO:AN eye opener to all religious/communal hate mongers.High time for them to listen and get converted not by religion but to bring about a change in themselves. For the betterment of the society.Mahendra Kumar has directly confessed to jesus christ and I am sure Lord has pardoned him .Hats off to you sir.May your soul rest in peace.
