State govt + BBMP want to slowly push street vendors out of streets! They want vendors to keep pushing carts&moving. Street vendors are gathering on Tue 24/06 to assert the right to the street! To fight for dignity, for a zero eviction policy. Do download and share these posters!
Do watch @AtriManavi and Prof A Narayana talk about the current situation in Mangalore.
How the communal hate speeches are fueling the violence, What is it that the state can do to control.
Watch Prof A Narayana and @AtriManavi talk about the situation in Mangalore - what is it that the state can do to control, how hate speech is fueling violence and more.

A spate of killings have reopened communal faultlines in Coastal Karnataka, fuelled by hateful speeches & social media posts. Has the State govt's lack of political will worsened the situation in the region?
Prof. A Narayana & @AtriManavi tell @nalmeyolume

'I don't want any hatred... People are going against Muslims or Kashmiris. We don't want this.'
This statement by Himanshi Narwal, the wife of a naval officer killed in Pahalgam, was all it took for the hate machinery to turn against her. | @OishaniB_

Dear @DrParameshwara sir @CPBlr sir, this is not the first time that @zoo_bear has been harassed and his safety threatened. His work is most invaluable for society. Instead of rewards he's facing death threats . Pls do take firm action against those responsible.
Enough is enough. The Police needs to ACT now. Nothing short of arrests. In a rule of law society, threatening to kill a person, leaking his address is NOT normal and far from legal. We are with you @zoo_bear You embody what it means to be a journalist in a fascist government!
People have leaked my home address and Mobile Number and have threatened to send Pork to my address. There are already life threats against me. This isn't the first time. The same person in 2023 had sent Pork to my address and shared the shipping address on Twitter. I am have filed a complaint before @DCPEASTBCP. Trust that @CPBlr@DgpKarnataka takes this threat seriously at least this time. Last time when I filed a complaint, the FIR was closed after a few months.
