On the road to 2047, the state of our democracy cannot be a distant concern

Even as our society and nation lurch towards a future in which even the rudimentary semblances of democracy and decency are defied, we are increasingly witness to a shrinking support base of persons who can struggle and assert the need for these indispensable norms.

🪡 While upholding the findings of the Special Investigation Team that gave a clean chit to @[email protected] in the #ZakiaJafri case, SC added that SIT had “come out with flying colours”.

Q: When exactly did Modi learn of the massacre on 28 Feb 2002—and how well did SIT quiz him?

Nobody thought that SC will consider #ZakiaJafri 's plea on the basis of justice.

We knew the verdict especially when the main accused @[email protected] is manning @[email protected].

But, the language of dismissal is what not expected even if lives are bulldozed without justice now a days.
