Met @lpolgreen Lydia - The New York Times Journalist whose last take on Oct 10 protest had gone viral. It was such a pleasure meeting her. “I have not seen a protest of this size in my time covering #India…what I saw on Oct 10, I would describe it as a crackdown” she says.
Lydia your name rhymes with my India - Hope you get some time to experience the charm of my breathtakingly beautiful country beyond these protests.
UPDATE:
I am in detention. The movement is not.
People are assembling at SAFDARJUNG FLYOVER right now. If you can, reach.
If you are stopped, sit down where you are and hold the line.

Illa puriyala!
The state government in Tamil Nadu is in alliance with Congress (@INCIndia) and has declared BJP (@BJP4India) as it's ideological opponent. That means the CEC's alleged scam in SIR supported by the BJP govt must be contested by the TVK government, no?
And this protest must be allowed to happen in peace just like at Freedom Park in Bengaluru. Right?
Why the thump chesting
great warrior TVK government and its most efficient CM (@CMOTamilnadu) and actor Vijay (@actorvijay) is scared of going against BJP? Why? At least he could've endorsed the Indian Express article and condemned the alleged fraud in voters list.
Especially with VCK (@vckitwingoffi ) in its alliance....MP Thol Thirumavalavan (@thirumaofficial) was literally protesting in Delhi yesterday but his friends in TN aren't allowing the same protest.
•Is TVK govt really an alliance govt after all?
•Or is TVK an actual proxy of the BJP in Tamil Nadu?
•Did TVK benefit out of the SIR indirectly or directly which is why they're hesitant?
•Is Vijay and his bunch of ministers not competent enough to even criticise the SIR drive?
Tamil Nadu is going clownish day by day.
