RSS backed Prime Minister Modi government has approved release of 11 men convicted and sentenced to life in prison for gang-raping a Muslim woman BilkisBano and murdering her family members during 2002 Gujarat riots 1/4 @UNHumanRights@OIC_OCI@MoFAICUAE@MuslimNetworkTV
Bilkis Bano was 5 months pregnant when she was brutally gang-raped in communal violence in 2002 when Modi was the CM of Gujarat state. Nearly 2,000 people, mostly Muslims, were killed in some of the worst religious violence in the country 2/4 @UNHumanRights@OIC_OCI@MoFAICUAE
The Guj Govt in its affidavit told the Indian Supreme Court that the convicts were prematurely released after Modi-led Indian central govt’s approval, even though the CBI and a special court had opposed their release for committing the “heinous” crime 3/4 @UNHumanRights@OIC_OCI
By releasing the convicted rapists and killers, Modi as Prime Minister was signaling his Hindu-supremacist commitment to Hindu voters in Gujarat on the eve of recent state polls 4/4 @UNHumanRights@OIC_OCI@MoFAICUAE@MuslimNetworkTV
BJP-run Uttarakhand state govt has ordered the demolition of 4,365 homes in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood, which will leave more than 4000 households homeless @UNHumanRights@UN_HRC@OIC_OC
The demolition was ordered by High Court while hearing a PIL filed by Ravi Shankar Joshi, an Islamophobic and RSS activist in 2016 @UNHumanRights@UN_HRC@OIC_OC
During the hearing in this case, it was said on behalf of the residents that their side was not heard from the railways, so they should also be given a chance to be heard. Only RSS behind this drive against Muslims @UNHumanRights@UN_HRC@OIC_OC
The High Court that issued the judgment made the clearly false assertion that the families were "unauthorized occupants" residing on "encroached" land owned by the Indian Railways in an attempt to justify this mass eviction drive @UNHumanRights@UN_HRC@OIC_OC
Article 19 of India's Constitution provides for freedom of speech but India, under Modi, witnesses a regular breach of this right. Silencing of critical voices through hate speech laws and sedation charges is rampant in India 2/4 @UNHumanRights@SCRtweets@arableague_gs@OIC_OC
N. Ram, Dir of The Hindu Publishing Group, who stated that “The harassment against certain journalists in the country has escalated, & journalists from the Muslim community or those supporting the minorities are being targeted 3/4 @UNHumanRights@SCRtweets@arableague_gs@OIC_OC
Debasish Roy Chowdhury and John Keane in their book titled ‘To Kill a Democracy: India’s Passage to Despotism’ aptly note that India is highly polarized under Modi’s regime 4/4 @UNHumanRights@SCRtweets@arableague_gs@OIC_OC
India, under Modi govt is carrying out a systemic oppression of minorities gps, notably Muslims, Christians and Dalits. India has been rampantly deploying draconian laws such as the UAP Act to target Muslim and Christian community 1/4 @UNHumanRights@OIC_OC@SCRtweets
