on feb 4 delhi police had filed an FIR against the creators of the toolkit
@GretaThunberg
shared (btw the creators are a canadian nonprofit). many speculated that india did this to scare and target local activists who were supporting the
#farmersprotest
The Delhi Police FIR doesn’t apparently name any individuals. It refers to the toolkit shared by Greta Thunberg & is against the people who had created that toolkit.
This is now going to be used as an excuse for claiming an “international conspiracy” & booking people at random.

disha’s “crime”? merely sharing a public document that contained the most basic info for online organization - a suggestion of what people can tweet. what hashtags they can use. and so on.

once greta tweeted, india got intl backlash for their attack on farmers. modi’s gov't lost their minds & needed a diversion so they zeroed in on the toolkit. suddenly a basic google doc was labeled a tool of sedition. indian media got to work & crafted a conspiracy for the ages

today, disha ravi has been arrested for a TWEET. one source said that delhi police have also accused disha of contributing to this toolkit. disha is a young activist being scapegoated by a regime seeking to use her as a pawn to suppress dissenting voices.

For those who thought FIR on Greta was a joke, no, it's a snare to catch everyone doing work on the environment and alleging some international conspiracy or the other.

Very problematic analysis; here's a 60 page paper I wrote on how farmers are actually working to preserve ecosystems and agrobiodiversity. Let's try talking to farmers on the ground before spewing truisms about their climate misdeeds.

They wanted freedom to burn stubble which causes major air pollution and significantly contributes to damaging of the environment.
The Indian gov relented on that sadly.

The violent mobs want to continue to grow surplus rice and wheat which unnecessarily wastes water and contribute towards water shortages.

The farming status quo in Punjab and Haryana has incentivised over production of rice and wheat and stubble burning. Farmers profit from a quick turn around of soil to switch from rice to wheat - this is why they resort to stubble burning. But Rupi wont tell you that.

You support a protest that is not even remotely a ‘climate justice movement’ !!
In fact these ‘farmers’ from 1.5 states (there are 29) want to retain EVERY environment damaging practice.
Stubble burning for one, that causes dangerous pollution levels in North India.

Hi
@rupikaur_
, yes you're right nothing helps the environment more than growing rice in semi arid conditions using plenty of subsidised fertilizers and later burning the stubble. You go gurl. XoXo 🌈👏💖💦

So, what happens when they burn the stubble and choke the entire North India? Many small children have died due to stubble burning every year. That's not an environmental problem?
