@AshutoshRanka@Cockroachisback@abhijeet_dipke
.@SauravDassss@AshutoshRanka not being released. @Ritubarala FIR not being registered. But Hindutva goons released within a day. Legal system is basically jiski laathi uski bhains
No sir ji . This is a Democratic Country. If Vote Chori is stopped .. we will vote and change the Regime certainly . Please join us to save Democracy and our Constitution #justasking
So @DelhiPolice illegally arrest Saurav & Ashu. Then their own ACP who is their employee masquerading as SEM illegally gives them 5 days in Tihar & now extends that illegal custody! Please name this ACP so we can ensure we never forget @whattalawyer
Rang De Basanti planted the seed. Ashutosh Ranka lived it. ๐
He left a McKinsey career in London to come home and do something for India.
Today he's behind bars after protesting with the Tricolour.
Imagine punishing that kind of love for your country.
Ashutosh Ranka is an IIT student who has so many opportunities abroad but chose to bring change and work for his country.
This was him when nobody knew him, when there was no CJP and no fame.
He is a pure gem ๐ฎ๐ณ
Theyโre making an example out of @SauravDassss and @AshutoshRanka to create a chilling effect. At this point, they aren't bothered about the optics as well. If this is how two people can be treated with so many eyes on them, imagine what happens to those nobody is watching. Just so sad and disturbing.
Ashutosh & Saurav are the symbol of todayโs youth who refuse to bend down in front of the people in power.
While criminals, rapists, Vote Chor Gyanesh Kumar is roaming free, these two heroes are still under custody.
Release Ashutosh & Saurav NOW!
I can understand the desperate motive to extend the custody of Ashutosh and Saurav. This is a dangerous virus being used on a daily basis to attack democracy. Stop torturing the boys and girls of Gen Z. Those in power today, will not be in power tomorrow. From Kolkata to Delhi to Mumbai - throughout the country, atrocities have reached unprecedented levels. When our forefathers stood up to colonial rulers, they too had to face atrocities and yet they fought with conviction and valor. Let me say it clearly: this is state-sponsored terrorism. These are police-sponsored atrocities. These cannot sustain for long. When people with conviction keep standing up strongly for the cause, to Save India, to Save Democracy- only then will these arrogant and blindfolded politicians in government open their eyes. By that time the people would have won, and the murderers of democracy will be finished.
If you believe in democracy, release Ashutosh and Saurav immediately.
Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka's arrest without release is absolutely illegal. It's alarming the rate at which the Indian state arrests peaceful protestors and then refuses to release them, keeping them in illegal incarceration. Crazy disregard of legal procedures and human rights!
#Breaking: Delhi Court says CJP Leaders Ashutosh Ranka & Saurav Das deliberately breached bonds and committed breach of peace in connection with protests at Jantar Mantar.
Court notes concerns over likelihood of breach of peace and public tranquillity.
Saurav and Ashu have still not been released.
This is Day 6 of a 5 day judicial custody. Iโm not surprised, Iโm not even outraged honestly. Iโm just disgusted at the cowards who want to be this petty.
