Complaint filed in NHRC by Supreme Court lawyers regarding UP police atrocities on CAA protesters. Diary No. 189930/CR/2019. @prasanna_s @sanjayuvacha @nilanjanaroy @LiveLawIndia @livelawtwitter @VakashaS @Vakeel_Sb @vidyut #CAA

Prof Niraja Gopal Jayal, one of India's foremost scholar of citizenship, on #CAA:

"I think it’s the biggest threat to India’s self-definition as a nation—the definition that India adopted at independence, which was informed by the values of the movement for freedom from British rule and embodied in the Indian constitution. I think that vision of India, as a secular, inclusive, plural, multicultural democracy, is certainly under threat more than at any previous time."

Never believed in such binaries but here it goes: Either you are with the BJP/RSS or with the country. Your silence makes you a Nazi. Don't give me this bullshit about damaging public property or stone pelting. Period. #CAA_NRC #CAAProtest

Really like the prominent coverage legacy media is giving to one of the biggest stories of the decade. People be careful about what you read. They are much more than scrap that you sell every other month.

In case you missed it,
@nit_set's story is here:

Future generation of journalism students will surely learn, and take inspiration, from the work of @nit_set, @Kumar_Sambhav, Niranjan Takle and handful others.

Journalist recalls destruction of Babri Mosque

Qurban Ali recollects the day, when historic mosque was demolished, his escape from death, relaying the news to world - Anadolu Agency

The last imam of Babri Masjid told me Ayodhya was a place without war

Ayodhya now remains trapped in the Mandir-Masjid conflict. Its residents have been forced to live with broken roads, choked sewers and lack of doctors.

One of my regrets will be to not interview #TNSeshan. Had approached him multiple times for an interview in March, May and then August on recent elections only to be denied by his caretaker. Once he picked up the call in August but couldn't speak for long.
RIP #TNSheshan sir. Thank you for cleaning up the election procedure. Wish your successors had half as much spine as yours. You were sorely missed in the last few General and assembly elections.
