De is known for her fearless writings and comments.
A mob of over 100 people had dragged Akhlaq and Danish from their home allegedly after an announcement from a nearby temple that the family had eaten and stored beef. While 50-year Akhlaq succumbed to injuries his 23-year son Danish is struggling for life at a hospital in Greater Noida near Delhi.
It is interesting to note here that some top politicians of the country who are very active on social media and post comments on and off have gone silent over the incident. But some political parties including Congress and CPI-M have condemned the incident.
