Statement from 50 journalists and film critics condemning the censorship of SATLUJ and its removal from ZEE5 less than 48 hours after release.
We call for transparency, due process, and stand in solidarity with the film's makers.
Two very important things to remember in Jaswant Singh Khalra's case.
1. Khalra's 25,000 figure covers only the cremations. And cremation was just one disposal method; other bodies were dismembered and dumped in rivers, leaving no evidentiary trace.
So 25,000 is where the counting stopped, not where the killing stopped.
We may never know the true number. Cremation happened only when the police chose the municipal route, which is the sole reason any paper trail exists.
Countless others were simply dumped in the rivers, uncounted.
2. But the most important thing is what Khalra's extrajudicial murder achieved.
It sent a chilling message. Khalra had become a beacon of hope for thousands, a tiny diya of light. When that diya was extinguished, it terrified them. Thousands never reported their missing, because they feared for their own families' safety.
The state didn't just kill people. It killed the counting.
Allah Is a Fan of Messi and Mbappé?
Since all the Muslim nations are now out of the World Cup, I have a question for all the dawah influencers who kept telling us that du’a, Al-Fatiha, and sujud were the reason behind every victory.
Now that they’re all eliminated, why are only the “kuffar” teams left?
Did Allah stop answering their du’a?
Did He ignore their sujud and recitation of Al-Fatiha?
Or is Allah cheering for Messi and Mbappé now?
You can’t claim every win is a miracle from Allah, then suddenly go silent when the losses pile up. You don’t get to credit Allah for every victory and invent excuses for every defeat.
