Referring to an FIR registered against some individuals in UP for allegedly installing boards with “I Love Mohammad” during an Eid-e-Milad-un-Nabi procession, the Hyderabad Lok Sabha MP wondered which direction this country is headed.   “Even if we want to go to our Mosque, they want to snatch it away.
