BJP supporters when cops get beaten

[iqra @thiccra]

u can tell this is a lot of people's first protest and im glad that they have finally woken up but a part of me can't help but feel bitter because of the hostility & indifference these same people harboured when the victims were muslims adivasis kashmiris & dalits like Ok

[Reem @TweetyGazelle]

I refuse to believe that BJP voters are illiterate. Even the most educated people vote for BJP, not because they’re illiterate but just Islamophobic.

[ϯαηѵεεɾ @KindaSabrful]

this. so perfectly articulated.

[Aasif Mujtaba @MujtabaAasif]

Today, we remember every innocent Muslim whose life was brutally taken by the poison of hate and mob lynching in India.

Behind every name was a human being with dreams, a family waiting at home, and a future that was stolen in an act of unimaginable cruelty. Their mothers still wait, their children still grieve, and their loved ones continue to carry the unbearable weight of loss.

We refuse to let their memories fade into silence. We remember them not as statistics, but as fathers, sons, brothers, husbands, and friends whose lives mattered.

May their souls rest in eternal peace. May justice one day prevail. And may we continue to stand against hatred, defend human dignity, and strive for an India where no one is targeted because of their faith.

Their lives were taken by hate, but their memory will continue to inspire our struggle for justice, compassion, and humanity.

They killed a Muslim boy Faizan 3 years ago on camera. (Beaten to Death) No one had even found out the policemen responsible for his murder.

Democracy died when Umar khalid and Sharjeel imam were jailed. It died when Jmi students protesting the CAA were beaten. It died when minorities had to fight for basic rights like the hijab and many more. If you r outraged by lathi charges and tear gas now, you are years too late

[Kashish Sharma @kashskskl]

He’s the Butcher of Gujarat, what do y’all expect from him? he worships the terrorist that killed Gandhi and dehumanizes Gandhi, that fought for this country. A lathi charge? this is nothing for him, he could’ve done a lot worse

[Noaman @NaxalbariNachos]

IT WITHERED AWAY?????? YOU ASSHOLE IT DID NOT WITHER AWAY. there was literally a pogrom in delhi where muslim protesters and localities were targeted. there was a full-blown witch hunt against everyone associated with the movement. the government spent its time arresting student

[Edgar Allan Poeha @bhanilaessence]

CAA-NRC wasn't just Muslim protests. Hindus and Muslims (and others) protested together with several leading figures being Muslim.
The horror of the protests of course were that it soon turned out that only or largely the Muslims were being targeted/penalised/hunted out

[Aishwarya | Free 🍉 @Aishworryyaa]

Every single time I see “look at these kids, do they look anti-national to you” posts, I have to ask, did you think the kids at Jamia & JNU looked anti national in 2019? What about those of us who were protesting against a terrible bill that affected Indian citizenship?

[Afreen Fatima Ali @afreenfatimaali]

I hope everyone who called our CAA-NRC protests "non-peaceful" has realised by now that the "peacefulness" of a protest is not decided by the protesters, it's decided by how the state chooses to respond.

[jamun luvr @alfucore]

you guys couldn't handle an umar khalid mamdani toh khair dur ki baat

[𝓐𝓷𝓷𝓮 @moonloverzx]

Yes im so fucking pissed off at the difference.... ill never forget how these ppl treated muslim students, or muslims for protesting. We were demonised, villainised, called names, terrorists, with genocidal calls being made for us, the majority relishing in our pain

[Edgar Allan Poeha @bhanilaessence]

Also remember the attacks on AMU and JNU. Police threw year gas over bolted gates to break in and shot rubber pellets as well as brutally beating up whoever they could get their hands on. University spaces were treated like warzones and invaded like it was enemy territory

[Noaman @NaxalbariNachos]

"no revolutionary force was present" 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sharjeel Imam, umar Khalid, gulfisha fatima, khalid saifi, safoora zargar were among those leading the movement. they displayed more political clarity than the entire CJP cohort. At least think twice before posting such utter bullshit

[toru⁷🏳️‍🌈 @btspeacheyes]

Who tf is we I have hated bjp as long as I started forming opinions of my own

[shrey is rygospilled @ashlovesreki]

kashmiris have every right to be upset that majority of the ppl speaking up about student protests did not care or even cheered when it was only kashmir being brutalized
