Sir, the internet shutdown and prosecutions of journalists have gone way beyond debates on the MSP. They violate the Universal Declaration on Human Rights and article 19 of the ICCPR.
If there is ever a legal reckoning of all that is happening in India today,
#ArnabGoswami
and Republic TV will be found guilty of inciting violence and possibly genocide. Under any decently functioning constitutional democracy they would have been shut down. And prosecuted.
I've said little on the
#AryanKhan
matter, in case NCB had evidence not leaked so far. Bail hearings make clear that his blood tests were clean, only allegation's based on straws like membership of a whatsapp group. Either NCB made a mistake,is covering up, or this is a vendetta.
One of the finest judges and human beings India has today.
He will have no regrets about not being elevated to the Supreme Court or denied transfer to Madras - but we should, we do.

As a member of the Bar, and a human being, I believe that some rights are Universal. And if a black person is being shot dead in the US, or a genocide in Rwanda or speech being silenced in India, it's all our business. As a people.
Why is the government not declaring President's Rule in UP? This is what happens when the prime accused in riots cases against minorities rules a State. And when the man who leads the country failed to act - at the very least - against a progrom in his own State, leads a country.
Folks, period leave is like maternity leave. 1. Don't take it if your period isn't painful and 2. Don't deny others' pain because you're such a pain free hero.
Why is anyone citing India's "number of COVID 19 cases" or even "reported cases" like it means anything. If we're only testing
0.02 % of the population, we know almost nothing.
Oh get off
@RanaAyyub
, folks. Terrible things are happening in our country today, if she's feeling despondent, don't take it personally or get on your moral high horse. She's put herself on the line to build State accountability & integrity in journalism for this nation.
Now nobody will ever know if the four men killed by the police were innocent men, arrested fast to show action. And whether four of the most brutal rapists roam free, to rape and kill more women.

That Afreen Fatima's family has been detained, including her mother and sister at undisclosed locations, and her home us being bulldozed by the State, is further proof that the 'fringe elements' have taken over the building and making 'law'.
As a media and free speech lawyer, I'm rarely glad to see defamation cases. Very glad to see Ms. Chakraborty's intention. I hope it acts as a corrective.
Having installed a deeply misogynist, bigoted and downright sleazy NCW chief, the Modi Government clearly doesn't care two hoots about women's rights.
#sackrekhasharma
The Supreme Court has turned the Constitution on its head by targeting an individual for claiming rights. This goes against all our Court was congratulated for globally in the last 5 decades, however imperfect the system. Sad day.
#TeestaSetalvad
By seizing Adv Mehmood Pracha's computers for particular emails, police will get a lot of data that's protected by attorney client privilege. This goes to the heart of rule of law. Lawyers must stand up for Adv Pracha as much as for Adv P. Bhushan.

CM Yogi Adityanath is reported to have ordered the false imprisonment, torture & murder of civilians between Dec '19 & Jan '20, to suppress protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. This may amount to crimes against humanity.
Amazed by this comment. If the Swarajya party can get it together, great - but to use these words for the valiant battle fought by

The Congress must die.
If it could not stop the BJP in this election to save the idea of India, this party has no positive role in Indian history. Today it represents the single biggest obstacle to creation of an alternative.
My reaction to

Republic TV and Arnab Goswami are India's Radio Rwanda. No defence of Mr. Goswami today is complete without acknowledging his furthering fascism and voluble hate speech , which possibly rises to incitement to genocide. Thread.

This man has been newly elected, and seems to have been leading a mob. Many eyewitnesses. He must be arrested immediately

Newly elected BJP MLA Abhay Verma is marching through Mangal Bazaar in Laxmi Nagar as his supporters are chanting 'Goli maro' and 'Jo Hindu hit ki baat karega, wohi desh pe raj karega' and 'Jai Shri Ram'.
Proud of a court where four of the top five have the constitutional spine to speak of transparency and predictability in allocating cases. Had Justice HR Khanna not stood up during the Emergency, our constitutional identity would have been very different.
Nobody died for lack of oxygen. Nobody died for want of a hospital bed. Nobody died an easily prevented death. This is going to be the truth soon, prepare to have your loved ones and neighbours and those you admire forgotten in the persistent lies of the BJP abd their cohort.

Whatsapp chats are for the public and the government to know.
Citizens don't have a right to know which companies the parties running government have taken money from. Nor where your money given directly to PM Cares went.
When did the Constitution get turned on its head?
Saffron clad, upper caste, religious men and no sign of the adivasi President of the Republic, Draupadi Murmu. Today we see the usurping our democratic symbols for a section of one religion, one gender and one man.

Whether

stays or goes, he can do so with his head held high. He fought hard, from a place of love & for our founding values. Our armchair pundits would be singing a different tune had he won. Keeping Constitutional appended to Democracy is all our responsibility.
Rahul Gandhi tells top Congress leaders that he is not taking back his resignation. Tells them they will have to find a new President, reports NDTV's Sunil Prabhu.
I support protests for a new democracy, against the toxic trifecta that is the CAA-NRC- NPR, *because* I am a lawyer and a constitutionalist. Today, I spoke to a vibrant group at Delhi University, with Medha Patkar,

Heartbroken to watch the axe-murder in Rajasthan. Having consistently stoked communal flames, not really prosecuting Pehlu Khan's murderers, the BJP Govt in Rajasthan is squarely responsible. Opposition parties really must unite to get the Sangh out of States and Centre.
JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh’s mother demanded the varsity Vice Chancellor's resignation and affirmed that she would not ask her daughter to back out of the protests.

@Suhelseth
on your show you are normalising a sexual harasser (on camera even), and giving credence to a person who switches views when power switches. Like any bully.
Let's be clear. This is a communal riot- mobs killing, looting & torching Muslims, & also Hindus. Only one side's supported by police & State. An MLA of the ruling party lead a rioting mob shouting kill slogans started by Minister. That's why it's also a pogrom.

Indian man Janarthan Sivaranjan went on a mass groping spree of women & girls under 16 in Canada. "...And their excuse is they’re allowed to do that in their country...”
He's right, there's almost no accountability for groping here. Ask women around you.
This terrified law student showed courage and said she would testify against Chinmayanand. She appealed to Modi ji, Adityanath ji and us and now she is missing. This is the 'golden hour' of evidence, the girl needs to be found. Please RT.

BJP MLA Kuldeep Sengar was accused of raping this woman, chain of deaths that followed: Father of rape victim in custody, witness, Prosecutrix, her aunt. And her lawyer.
The horror and impunity here are starting to match Vyapam.
When you have been used to Dalits sitting on the floor, being beaten for wearing slippers or bright shirts, of course you're going to think Chandrashekhar Azad is flying too high if he uses a helicopter like other politicians.
21 year old climate activist, Disha Ravi, has been arrested for sharing a social media toolkit in support of the Farmer's Protest.
Disha's the daughter of a single mother. Allegations of criminality are ludicrous, to arrest in such a case more so.

Twitter employees are standing up for our constitutional right to know the truth, and they're facing serious pressure for it- threats of arrest and long criminal trials. Especially those in India.
The least we can do is thank them.

Really good , clear order from the Delhi High Court today. The Court is not shying away from implementing the SC order to Central Govt directing Union Govt to supply 700 MT of oxygen to Delhi by...16 minutes ago. Deadline, midnight May 3. Gratitude from Delhi's citizens.
Delhi Police has filed a FIR against JNUSU President Aishe Ghosh and 19 others for attacking security guards and vandalising server room on January 4. The complaint was filed by JNU administration.

@ANI
The PM can't possibly know this, there has been no NCRB data since 2016. Aside from the fact that hanging doesn't quell crime not a single culprit has been hanged within 3 days, 11 days or a month of his rape. So no, this is not true.
