Indian media and social media for years have ignored the death of Habeas Corpus, which is the cornerstone of any democratic Republic.

Now they are trying to find legal justifications for #AfreenFatima's house being demolished at express speed.

Rename Republic Day as AFSPA Day.
And again, carrying paperwork is NOT due process!

Sanghi gaslighting is posting PDFs (of dubious veracity in terms of dates and legality) from U.P. to say "procedure was followed".

Police procedure is NOT due process.

Godi media tho is trying to "both sides" even this.
This 1966 paper is one of the best ones I've read about Nazis and bureaucracy. Given that sanghis are pretty much following the 1930s playbook of their old allies, it reads as if written about today's India.

I'll repeat. Paperwork is NOT due process

This whole #AfreenFatima episode is an orchestrated one to divert and confuse the common man. A short thread. 🧵

📌First, the likes of Zubair, Rana, Saba and other liberals provoked people against #NupurSharma.
📌But in an unexpected move, she was suspended by the BJP.
📌Even after the suspension, the mobs that were provoked by the liberals couldn't be controlled or contained.
📌People started screaming for her blood.
📌The liberals who incited the mobs slowly started distancing themselves from what was happening.
📌Nupur gained even more support because of the threats against her. More and more people started calling out the hypocrisy of certain communities and people.
📌People started asking why a community gets offended for quoting their own book.

If you need to ask lawyers this, you really don't understand what a republic is. Primary school civics would tell you it's illegal.

This man is a great distillation of much that is wrong with Indian media. Image
Due process doesn't mean just paperwork. Nazis also carried lots of paperwork.

Due process means when the govt accuses you of something, you have the right to object and you are innocent until proven guilty, verified by judiciary, BEFORE any punitive action can be taken.
Due process was blatantly ignored when demolishing the house of #AfreenFatima. Bisht and his cops are accusers, judge, jury, executioner, everything. Not a peep from courts.

You don't need a law degree to see this was not just illegal but unconstitutional. In a republic anyway.
