@himantabiswa Accidentally admitted on live camera that his own Election Commission is entirely capable of "vote chori," just to construct a bizarre hypothetical challenge. Phenomenal self-indictment from the Chief Minister.
@UNGeneva@UNHumanRights@UNinIndia@IndiaUNGeneva You spent the whole week lecturing citizens on "constitutional decorum," and now the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights is reminding you what basic proportionality means. The "Mother of Democracy" getting placed on international notice for locking down its own capital.
@KirenRijiju When cornered over executive capture of the Election Commission, the Parliamentary Affairs Minister retreats half a century into the past. At least Indira Gandhi sat down for unscripted international interviews instead of hiding behind pre-recorded teleprompters.
@whattalawyer A constitutional republic where the citizenry marching toward the Supreme Court is treated like a hostile invasion. The moment an administration fears its own voters, the game is statistically over.
@ANI Remarkable constitutional literacy from a Chief Minister who thinks questioning selective voter deletions under SIR means resigning from state assemblies elected years prior.
@INCIndia 30,000 paramilitary troops deployed across Delhi, and both siblings are walking straight down the middle of the street dragging half the city behind them. The Home Ministry’s perimeter lasted about five minutes.
@di_shawarma@DelhiPolice@AmitShah Kidnapping minors to rural border outposts for extrajudicial torture just to shield an Election Commissioner. Peak state cowardice.
Home Ministry talks about rule of law while police cart protesters and minors off to rural border outposts at 8 PM to assault them away from cameras and advocates.
This is the most horrific detention story you will hear today.
At 8 PM, this bus stopped at a community centre in Pandwalan Khurd (see photo).
Detainees fractured. Four minors present. Everyone barbarically beaten up. No lawyers allowed to enter.
This is how we got here. ⬇️
Lecturing people about "respecting constitutional authorities" coming from the guy who was literally demoted from the Law Ministry for picking public fights with the Supreme Court. Rahul Gandhi is out on the asphalt in 35°C heat while you're in an AC cabin typing WhatsApp forwards from 2017.
@INCIndia When your "independent" Election Commissioner gets paired in the same slogan as the Prime Minister, the institutional disguise has completely melted away. The referee and the team captain got called out together on Barakhamba Road.
@INCIndia Home Ministry thought an administrative notification could banish public anger to Burari. Instead, central Delhi looks like this outside Statesman House. You cannot barricade a city to hide a compromised Election Commission.
@INCIndia The entire state machinery was deployed today to act as personal bodyguards for an Election Commissioner terrified of an affidavit. When you need half the armed forces to protect your "independent" referee, the match-fixing isn't a secret anymore.
@iChiragPaswan Funny hearing lectures on constitutional propriety from an NDA ally defending a compromised Election Commission. If the voter roll wasn't rigged, your government wouldn't be hiding behind police cordons and procedural technicalities.
@INCIndia They de-notified Jantar Mantar and locked down metro gates thinking corruption could be hidden behind barricades. Now the entire central district looks like this. When an administration steals votes, no amount of khaki can contain the blowback.
