Akhilesh | 5 years ago | Reply What a stupid thing to cast in gold and then gift it. Saudis need to stop such glorification of objects of violence and death. This sends a totally wrong message to the entire muslim world which is already under suspicion of encouraging terrorism. That gold could be put to better and more productive use.
