When people were threatening me over social media and my family was upset, some times, I felt a little bit scared, maybe. Otherwise I really didn't bother about the threats, but for the first time, I am feeling really scared! Fear is neither a sign of weakness nor does it disqualify me from persisting with my fight for the children, especially, since they cannot fight for themselves! Fear only tells u that the stakes are very high! Humongous! Just praying that India rises up to the occasion, like it did, the last time, to stop these Corporate giants from wreaking havoc again, with the lives of our children!

the election commission doesn't have an answer to serious questions, blusters, acts as a mouthpiece of the ruling govt, modi doesn't know what to do with trump and suddenly the air force remembers it had shot down 5 pak aircrafts and more.

Such a brave lady, deserve sincere respect 🙏

Salute to this brave lady who broke the walls of fear and directly questioned the SANGHIs.
Today, when most journalists are cowering in fear, her voice is a ray of hope

Disturbing to read that my college, St Xaviers, Mumbai, has cancelled Fr Stan Swamy memorial lecture under ABVP pressure. Will all the many worthy alumni of a great institution stand up to be counted? Will ABVP now run the college through state pressure? https://t.co/gFWiJsqiOS

In #MadhyaPradesh, a planted fake news story has triggered a relentless witch-hunt against young changemakers (most of them Hindus) who are being targeted by the extremist right wing groups,the #Police and a section of the #media under baseless allegations of religious conversion to Christianity, simply for engaging in social work in a remote village.

In Shukrawasa, a village tucked deep inside the Jungle in Madhya Pradesh’s Dewas district, a quiet revolution was underway.

A group of young professionals --an NEET topper, an MBA, a filmmaker, a journalist, a dancer and a student -- had come together with one goal, to change lives. Over five years,they opened a free and modern dispensary,ensured access to healthcare, improved sanitation, revived the panchayat, and helped villagers claim their rights, from quality education to clean water and electricity. They taught unlettered women how to read and write, spoke to men and women about hygiene, and worked side by side with locals to build a model village powered by awareness and inclusion.Their work had the full support of the villagers.

Anywhere else in the world, they would have been celebrated as role models.

But in #MadhyaPradesh, they were branded as criminals, brutally assaulted and humiliated by right-wing extremists, accused of religious conversion, relentlessly harassed and hounded by the police and media all because they dared to bring change to a neglected village in this country.

Last night at 1:45 AM, @DelhiPolice barged into my home, No search warrant, No Notice , while my 6-year-old and my wife watched in fear. Why? Because I am representing a Congress karyakarta being wrongly targeted by BJP’s misuse of police and law.

For 17 years, I have upheld the law, but last night, the law was weaponised to silence me. This was not an inquiry; it was intimidation.

Earlier, @IYCLegalCell’s X handle was suspended simply because we filed FIRs against BJP IT cell agents spreading fake news. The moment we used the law, they tried to muzzle us online. When that didn’t work, they came to our homes.

This is bigger than me. This is a direct attack on every lawyer who dares to stand up. If lawyers are targeted for defending the Constitution, justice itself is under threat.

We will not be silenced. We will not bow down. We will fight, in courts and on the streets, to defend the Constitution.
