This is shocking!
Five Muslim Students returning to Jamia area from Jantar Mantar were detained by the police near @jmiu_official and taken to the police station. Social activist Zeba Khan @zeba_kh_an and the reporter Afzal Alam @afzalalamjmi chased the police vehicle and freed all the Students.
Hello @DelhiPolice, Why were they detained, is it a crime to participate in Jantar Mantar protest?
Why are young Students from the Jamia area being treated like criminals just for participating in the protest?
They had no "orders". They are doing this for the love of the game. Before you start to have hope, you must remind yourself how far gone this place is.
Following an order that kills someone needs a lack of conscience, this is something far removed from a lack of conscience.

Also very interesting: the same Delhi Police that was not allowing CJP to move even 100 metres towards Parliament, allowed Rahul Gandhi to reach right outside PM Residence!
Do we need any more evidence that Congress-BJP is one unit?

Obviously GDP cannot be a consideration for voting rights - that’s taking democracy back 200 years.
I think what people in the South mean that we need greater fiscal autonomy. We need to say that properly, not say foolish things like this.
MBS does not represent the Muslim world, whether the custodian of Haramain or not. They are not the compass for Islam. The humiliation serves him right, and I am so happy about it.
