Through the CAA, Kashmir, and Farm Bills crises we’ve seen a disturbing trend of increasingly intense state violence against civilians. As the worlds largest democracy, it is crucial that the Modi government respects their right to protest. https://t.co/ew2LHUu8nB
Why are India’s farmers protesting? The government tried to change the decades-old agriculture laws and that’s when the manure hit the fan.
If you don’t know, now you know.
The BJP Govt. Is arm twisting twitter to shut down accounts talking about the condition of farmers.
Although twitter refused to shut down all of them, still 100s of accounts are withheld or suspended.
This is open tyranny against free speech.

India, which bills itself as the world's largest democracy, must also calibrate its response. Even as it battles with Twitter, the Modi government is fighting a perception battle with some of Twitter's most prominent voices

Twitter restored accounts "in a manner that we believe was consistent with Indian law," but was hit with a non-compliance notice by India's Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology. It threatened Twitter's employees with up to 7 years in jail

If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
