@mrinalcheruvoor Shadman's article is just a tip on the iceberg. There are many incident of Kerala being a surveillance state. That too pro- Palestine activists being surveilled by the state special branch, large number of cases registered against anti-NRC-CAA protestors.
@mrinalcheruvoor Also, on MLA PV Anwar's criticism of a senior police officer's and political secretary Sasi's link to Sangh?. Also, Sri M mediating CPM- RSS peace talk in Kannur. Javedkar visiting EP Jayarajan😂
@mrinalcheruvoor Wat about Calicut district party secretary Mohanan mash's statement accusing Mec 7, a fitness collective, of terrorist links. Also, Mohanan mash warning Hindus in Kerala about an hypothetical threat of a possible islamic state by Jamaath Islami🤔
@mrinalcheruvoor Rejaz was booked for an article criticising the police harrasing Muslim youth in the Kalamassery blast case. Being a Malayali, its an open secret about the Kerala police surveilling comnunists ( not the altered CPM and CPI commies), Muslims and Dalits politically vocal
Challenging harassment and constant surveillance from Kerala Police, Sharmina, a 24-year-old student activist and a member of Purogamana Yuvajana Prasthanam—a left movement—is planning to file a writ petition to quash the show-cause order for ‘breaching the peace’ in the Kerala High Court.

📢URGENT: In the latest in a long list of incidents surveilling Palestine solidarity events, the Bangalore Police has once again clamped down on a film screening planned by the student organisation, The Collective, on Palestine the coming weekend.
a slap on the face is misbehaviour in uniform and will invite action but it is not terrorism. this constant attempt to defame a community and a state is typical of the bjp and their minions. the misuse of the power to speak by a public representative should itself invite action.
#Kerala | From weapon smuggling and murder plots, the many ways Valsan Thillankeri has grown the RSS's shadow in a hostile Kerala.

Kerala Police resorted to lathi charge on students protesting CAA in Kozhikode. Women students were subjected to lathicharge during the protest organized by the Fraternity Movement outside All India Radio, a Union government institution.
Watch:
"Let me ask the journalists in this room, how many of you are Dalits? How many of you are from OBC?"
Not a single person raises their hand.
What a brilliant illustration of the caste hegemony in the Indian mainstream. Well done, @RahulGandhi 👏
Soon, another patient was admitted and he died of a cardiac arrest.
The doctors now had to establish a connection between the first Nipah victim and the second victim. Read story for details

Udhayanidhi Stalin, son of Tamilnadu CM MK Stalin, and a minister in the DMK Govt, has linked Sanatana Dharma to malaria and dengue… He is of the opinion that it must be eradicated and not merely opposed. In short, he is calling for genocide of 80% population of Bharat, who follow Sanatan Dharma.
DMK is a prominent member of the Opposition block and a long standing ally of the Congress. Is this what was agreed in the Mumbai meet?
Four months after the brutal lynching of Junaid and Nasir, the families of the victims are still looking for justice and running pillar-to-post to get their demands met.

A humble note to all journalists reaching out to me. I’m not in India, let alone Manipur (check bio).
In the last few days, a lot of people have reached out asking for contacts and help make sense of the madness.
I’m grateful for your interest but neither am I reporting or stringing for anyone nor should you depend on someone sitting thousands of miles away.
Let this also be a reminder for you on how badly your newsrooms and teams need diversity.
