Tab RSS ke logon ne ek train ko kat kar wahan Pakistan bheja tha, tab logo ko marna band hua, (when people were trying to flee to India by trains or roads, they were brutally killed and their dismembered bodies were sent to India in trains. The people from RSS then sent a train full of bodies to Pakistan, and then everything stopped)."
