Pansare, Kalburgi and now Gauri Lankesh!
Same pattern: shot by masked men
Same motive: Silence voices of dissent?
Same forces? https://t.co/CYrOMeuTgX— Yogendra Yadav (@_YogendraYadav) September 5, 2017

Killing of #GauriLankesh is not only tragic but terribly scary as well. Mere dissent or disagreement as a brave journalist cost her life.
