— Parmeet Sethi (@parmeetsethi) January 13, 2016These are the "Babas" of our times. Selling themselves as action heroes, while getting comedians put behind bars. This is "Ghor Kalyug"!
— ?anvi?_ ?ho?e?_ (@RanvirShorey) January 13, 2016Heard @kikusharda 's been remanded to judicial custody for mimicking RamRahim on TV! Absurd! RamRahim's 'films' are the real joke, anyway!
— VISHAL DADLANI (@VishalDadlani) January 13, 2016We Indians taking offense on EVERYTHING is bad enough. Stop arresting/harassing comics for that. #ReleaseKikuShardaNOW!
— Raghu Ram (@tweetfromRaghu) January 13, 2016If women in Haryana want Haryana Police to protect them, they should all become Godmen/babas/sadhus. Very efficient in such matters.
