Majeed Ullah Khan (@MBTparty President) Statement on #SupremeCourt Refusing Interim Stay on #CAA; Challenges @AmitShah to Visit Ongoing #ShaheenBaghProtests to Face Public Instead of TV Debates. #CAA_NRC_Protests Read Full: tl.gd/n_1sr4hba /1 
He contended that #ConstitutionofIndia is “Common Sense” codified. It's clear that #CitizenshipAmendmentAct goes against numerous Articles. It's appalling that Court deferred hearings in refusal to put interim stay on draconian #CAA and modified #NationalPopulationRegister /2
People’s trust in a truly secular, non-partisan #SupremeCourt is wavering. Moreover, refusal on interim #CAA stay has common public concerned regarding growing, free reign of a bigoted, right-wing #RSS-#BJP specter looming over nation that we continue to battle on all fronts. /3
Doing a thread on #NPR
To understand NPR, we need to understand wars & migration. The idea NPR came after the war with kargil in 1999. Where pakistanis entered India in civil clothes and we couldn't identify them. #IndiaAgainstCAA #IndiaAgainstNRC

So after the kargil war, there was conference of all chief ministers on internal security on 17-11-2001. This is where the idea of Multi Purpose National Identity Card was proposed and the idea of National Population Registrar was born to identify citizens from aliens.
Then the office of the registrar general of India framed rules on how this will be done, the idea of bio-metrics to be collected was formulated as early as 2003. So #Aadhaar was not the first time private sector use of id or biometrics was thought of. They wanted 16 parameters
This is for my friends outside India - thanks for your privately expressed concern, which is appreciated. Vastly more appreciated would be if you could take a minute to express it publicly. Mainstream media in many countries has been largely silent on the issue. (1/n)
At a dinner in Melbourne with a group of very well informed people, I found that most had simply not heard of what was happening, or if they were faintly aware, had no clue about the extent to which the State was clamping down on dissent in as violent a manner as possible. (2/n)
All you have to do is share an account or two of what’s happening in India - whether it’s a writeup on the law or coverage of the protests which have to a large extent been peaceful save for notable exceptions in BJP-ruled states. (3/n)
