தமிழ்நாடு, கேரளாவிலும் மட்டும் 1 கோடி ரோஹிங்யா முஸ்லிம்கள் இருப்பதாக அதிர்ச்சி தகவல்....
இதுக்காகத்தாண்டா... நாங்கள் CAA வை ஆதரிக்கிறோம்...
இந்த உண்மையெல்லாம் உலகிற்கு தெரிந்து விடும் என்பதால்தான் நீங்கள் எதிர்க்கிறீர்கள்....
#முபாரக்_பின்_அவாட் 30 வயது, இவன் ஒரு #யெமென் நாட்டு முஸ்லீம்.... இந்தியாவில் விசா முடிந்த பின்னும் தங்கி இருந்த காரணத்தால் ஐதராபாத் போலீசால் கைது செய்யப்பட்டுள்ளான்.
அவனிடம் இந்திய பாஸ்போர்ட், ஆதார் கார்டு, வாக்காளர் அட்டை எல்லாம் இருந்துள்ளதை போலீசார் கண்டு பிடித்துள்ளனர்....
#கேள்வி 1:
இவையெல்லாம் இவனால் எப்படி எடுத்துக்கொள்ள முடிந்தது?

#கேள்வி 2:
இவன் ஒருவனால் ஆதார் இந்திய பாஸ்போர்ட் வாக்காளர் அட்டை கள்ளத்தனமாக வாங்கமுடிகிறது என்றால் இதேபோல் சட்டவிரோதமாக நுழைந்த அனைவராலும் வாங்க முடியும்.

India is bidding for non permanent member for UNSC seat on June 17th during the 74th session at @UNGA. India does not deserve UNSC seat as it has illegally revoked article 370,35A, violated Article 19,27,32 ,49 of 4th Geneva Convention and various @UNSCN resolution
India should be held accountable for its grave breaches of intl humanitarian law and warcrimes in Kashmir & to take steps to settle the decades old dispute. Keep tweeting abt Indian atrocities & tag international media outlets & activists. Raise your voices at international level

When @RahulGandhi was asking questions about #RafaleScam and the innumerable inconsistencies, bhakts were busy defending @narendramodi.
That told me how much they cared about corruption.
When people were protesting about #CAA_NRC_NPR , Bhakts were busy defending @AmitShah.
That told me how much they cared about Indian Citizens.
When the #unplannedlockdown was killing people on the roads, Bhakts were busy ridiculing #MigrantWorkers & calling the pictures fake.
That told me how much they cared about the poor.

Finally, PM @narendramodi has formally accepted that India's economic growth had slowed down. But he is economising on the truth and misleading the country when he suggests that our growth momentum was lost due to #Covid. It was already lost. Thread👇

indianexpress.com/article/busine…
So a good starting point would be this piece on the govt's own economic growth data for 2019-20. If you read this, you will understand two things:

1> That India's growth had slowed sharply between April 2019 and March 2020. (contd)

indianexpress.com/article/explai…
2> That government's unwillingness to accept that growth was faltering led to a situation where policy responses were bizarre to say the least. The massive corporate tax cut -- which cost the govt Rs 1.5 lakh crore in tax revenues -- is a case in point. (contd)

Every bird-brainwave of @narendramodi and his handlers—from #Demonetisation to #CAA_NRC_NPR—is about testing India’s democratic spirit, to get people to meekly fall in line like sheep. “Discipline” lovers naturally see #JanataCurfew as “obedience” training. @IndianExpress
Despite the sanctimony, bird-brainwaves like #JanataCurfew stand the risk of ending up as fodder for vigilante groups to terrorise citizens. Who would have thought it would weaponise Bangalore’s police chief? @CPBlr @IPS_Association @Copsview @PMOIndia

Anti-#CAA protesters' hoarding case in the #SupremeCourt: SG Tushar Mehta appears for UP Govt as he points out 57 indicted for destruction of public properties include rioters of both communities.

#CAAProtest
Mehta says Allahabad High Court order is based on alleged violation of right to privacy but privacy will have a different dimension when a person chooses to commit certain acts in public.

#CAAProtest
Judges ask:

* Question is whether state has a right to put posters of those involved in public places

* Can right to privacy be waived for all times to come even if they have been involved in certain acts of rioting

Finally caught up w/ @iamjohnoliver’s episode on Modi last week. Clear, brilliant explanations about Gujarat - “when you are being asked about your role in the deaths of thoussnds, you simply don’t get to walk out of an interview”. Strategic quiet now returns. #DelhiViolence
Impressive research, Amit Shah’s heinous speeches, which Modi has not disavowed, & so well explained on Indian govt’s “diabolically clever two-step way” on #CAA_NRC_NPR , the new citizenship register plus Citizenship Amendment Bill -& the detention camps. This before last week.

#CAA_NRC_NPR Need more evidence UID / #Aadhaar, NPR and NRC are linked? This is from opencrvs.org - an opensource Civil Registration and Vital Statistics system. OpenCRVS is already piloted in Bangladesh, on its way to be implemented in Zambia
The Reference architecture from OpenCRVS
The root of these all point back to @UN and @WorldBank Different systems are just different implementations by different set of software vendors / nation states

I am at loss of words.

Many instances of Hindus helping Muslims & vice versa give a ray of hope. But it is equally disturbing that we get impressed by & HAVE to share such acts of brotherhood even after 75 yrs of independence. 2/n

#IndiaAgainstCAA_NRC_NPR & #IndiaSupportsCAA_NRC_NPR both sides are #Indian citizens. Because of the loss of public property & human lives would request @Shaheenbaghoff1 & others to stop the movement. This would what #MahatmaGandhi would have opted. @thewire_in @timesofindia
To all those #Indians chanting God's name & opting for stone peltting, arsoning, shooting, damaging public property etc. should bow down their heads in shame.

"NO RELIGION ADVICE OR SUPPORT SUCH ACTS"

Those who opt are Non - Religious, Not Even Atheist & Are Against Humanity
The kind of footages revolving on #SocialMedia of yesterday's #delhivoilence should stop. As these are building more hatered among those who are for or against #CAA_NRC_NPR

Request to all, don't break the #CommunalHarmony of our beloved nation #India

Why #CAA_NRC_NPR is much needed?

India is a sovereign country. Every country maintains a right to control its borders & the government decides who comes enters, who stays for how long & which documents are necessary for the alien visitors to provide.
Our country has had a long history of continuous invasion & barbaric subjugation of the natives through forced conversions, beheadings, rapes, kidnapping, destruction of our places of worship, etc. #CAA_NRC_NPR
To a great extent such behaviour has been reduced, but it unfortunately rears it ugly head whenever Muslim population rises above 25% of the total population. For example, Lebanon. #CAA_NRC_NPR

Facts made fun on Episode 7 of #IndiaWantsToKnow

Why do obscure Latin phrases such as "Jus soli" and "Jus Sanguinus" feature in the CAA NRC discussion in India?

Fresh off the desk of our research team, here are some fascinating facts about Indian Citizenship, our constitution and our history.
Let's start with the story of the Indian passport, a document that is supposed to be given to Indian citizens allowing them to travel outside the country.

When India was a British colony, people were issued British Indian Passports.

#IndiaWantsToKnow Image
Notice how the colonial past has been translated into Britain's present. Their current passport cover has a similar design.

Spare a thought for the poor folks over at @nrc.

This is the twitter handle for a Dutch news organization and has nothing to do with the Indian National Register of Citizens.

Not that it makes a difference for riled up Indian twitter warriors.

1n Just had a long chat with #GunjaKapoor @gunjakapoor. The reality is much scarier than what you saw on TV (yes she was mugged & physically assaulted). I’m telling you the sequence of events narrated by her. This woman in yellow “Upasana Sharma” is central to it
2n Gunja was interviewing the women at #ShaheenBagh. None of them seemed to know the details of #CAA_NRC_NPR they were protesting. Suddenly this “upasana” starts interrogating Gunja.. her first lines “I am a hindu, my name is upasana sharma, I am an organiser, who are you?”
3n “upasana” knew exactly what to ask & since Gunja hadn’t rehearsed her story got caught easily. Upasana & this creature below DRAGGED HER BY HER HAIR(!!!) to the 1st aid camp. “Upasana” seized her phone plus aadhar card & cash from her wallet. Now the other women...

Thread.

I've made two trips to Jewar in the last 24 hours to find out more about the 17-year-old shooter at #Jamia - who exactly he was and why he did what he did.

This is what I found.

#JamiaShooting #CAA_NRC_NPR

in.reuters.com/article/india-…
Family members, neighbours, and a school official in Jewar described the boy as quiet and ordinary. His act of violence took them by surprise.

In recent days, he had become even more withdrawn.

“We tried talking to him but we couldn’t get him to open up,” said his father.
In social media posts and conversations with some classmates, he spoke of restoring Hindu pride and expressed admiration for a right-wing activist whom police have accused of fomenting violence.

“For years, he had said he was going to do something big," a classmate told me.

1n Clearly the man was a lone wolf terrorist. Remember 40% of lone wolf terrorists have been diagnosed with mental illness.

.2n this video of the #ShaheenBagh shooting is extremely revealing. Look how casual the policeman’s stroll is & how close TV cameras are getting to him. Clearly everyone here thought this was a toy gun and the fellow was fooling about
.3n his Facebook footprint is curious. The very first post is on the 11th of October 2019 & then no posts till 6th January 2020. Why? Seems an oddly suspicious Facebook profile created almost like a cry for attention, a desperate appeal for publicity

Hours before his arrest, #SharjeelImam told me that the BJP was trying to vilify him in order to discredit the largely leaderless protest movement ahead of the Delhi state election.

"They want to discredit educated Muslims who speak up," he said.
in.mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The 31-year-old JNU history student has angered BJP members and others with what they said was a seditious call for the restive northeastern region of Assam to be “cut” from the rest of the country.

Last week, a BJP spokesman described Imam’s comment as a call for “open jihad”.
But Imam said he had only called for railway and road links to Assam to be disrupted as part of the ongoing campaign of protests against the #CAA_NRC_NPR

In a statement, Imam’s lawyers said he was fully cooperating with the investigation.

A Thread.
Memo:
Subj: #CAA_NRC_NPR - The UK experience with a National Identity Register.
To: #Citizens of #India
Recommendation: The Protests should continue
Summary: The Identity Cards Act, 2006 was finally repealed in 2010 as unworkable, and violative of civil liberties.
2/n
Following the Sept 11 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre, New York, the level of paranoia was high. One of the ideas to make Britain safe was to introduce compulsory Identity cards for every one. The full history of the National Identity Register is detailed..

The detail is eerily similar to what India is proposing.
The Act specified fifty categories of information that the National Identity Register could hold on each citizen,[1] including ...

#CAA_NRC_NPR Public discussion in Chennai

@nramind begins by highlighting the spontaneous, partly organised, nature of the mass revolt “upsurge” against an unjust piece of legislation.
Young people feel suffocated. Attacks across campuses - police wantonly attack on the libraries of Jamia with a glorious past linked to the national independence movement, attack on JNU - all with no indications that justice will be served.
Why such special savagery against Jamia, AMU? Let me blunt about it. It is repression of protestors, Muslims in particular.
