First they came for the Akhlaqs
And I did not speak out
Because I don't eat meat
Then they came for the JNUSU
And I did not speak out
Cos I'm an engineer not a humanities grad
Then they came for ₹500/1000
And I did not speak out
Because I have latest smartphone apps

Indians don't speak enough about what a seminal moment the Akhlaq case was in Indian history.
He was lynched by random people on suspicion of eating beef.
Murder is the biggest crime.
Police forensics focused on whether the meat was beef, not his murder.
A seismic shift, no?

Special coverage @themojostory- #BilkisBano Rape convict Mithilesh ( released early with 10 others for “good behaviour” ) was charged with outraging modesty of a woman while out on parole in 2020.
Sidebar: it’s satisfying to sometimes break a story ahead of the brilliant @LiveLawIndia which we would all be lost without otherwise
Exclusive @themojostory - We broke how #Bilkis rapist Mithesh was charged with outraging modesty of a woman on parole. Now we show how a 2nd convict,Radheshyam, whose petition in SC led to remission, was also charged with same offence & criminal intimidation. “Good Behaviour”?!
In the affidavit filed before the apex court, the Gujarat government underlined that the convicts' "behaviour was found to be good" and that they were released on the grounds that they had completed 14 years in jail.

The Gujarat government, in its affidavit, has told the top court that it decided to release all the eleven convicts as per a 1992 remission policy since they completed more than 14 years in prison and their behaviour was found to be good.

The rally which was for women freedom and dignity was attended by women completely clad in burqas and passed in between human chain created on both sides by male volunteers.
So much for freedom and dignity. 2/n

The Rally in Beed was mainly influenced by anti-BJP parties & was more about politics than the Muslim women issues.
