The Supreme Court reminded the lower court judge of a fundamental principle of #jurisprudence: bail is the norm, jail is the exception. The Court made the scathing observation that the said judge should go back to law school.

These are only two examples of how #BJP governments have been abusing power and bending the law to suit their desired ends.
One could point to the extrajudicial measure of "#bulldozer justice," which has been practiced by the BJP governments in #UP, #MP, and in #Delhi.

"The parade was attended by prominent NJ lawmakers including speaker Craig J. Coughlin (@SpeakerCoughlin), NJ-18 Assemblyman Robert Karabinchack, Sen. Partick Diegnan and the Mayors of Edison (@SamipJoshi) and Woodbridge (@mayormccormac)."
They should condemn this hateful act.

For the benefit of those lawmakers, I want to note some things here --
Hindu nationalism is a global phenomenon, with strong roots in New Jersey. In brief, it is a form of extremism that flourishes in our soil. We should call call it out and condemn it in our communities.

#Opinion: India’s #bulldozer raj is as far as we can get from nation building
Nations forged in devastation resemble petty mafias of muscle and flex. Neither a new politics, nor a vibrant economy can flourish in this morass.

BIG BREAKING : Communal violence broke out in #Roorkee during #hanumanJayanti #shobhayatra. Hindu Raksha Vahini threatens Dharm Sansad in 2 days, if muslim homes are not destroyed by Bulldozer. @Newsclick
On the eve of 16th April, the procession reached the village mosque and started raising slogans "Jay shree ram", "hindustan mein rehna hai, to jay shree ram kehna hai". Violence broke out after between both the communities and few people including policemen got injured.
Soon the police forces reached and immediately arrested 6 people.
The hindu groups which included BJP leader Jay Bhagwan Saini refused to leave the place and were wanting to carry out the procession from there.

In today's daily example of how BJP is literally following the 1930s Nazi playbook, #Bulldozer fascism against minorities was also used by Nazis. They also made targeted attacks on Jewish homes, destroying them on the flimsiest of pretexts.
Nazis were very clear that their goal was to make day to day life so difficult for Jews that they would "self deport", & those that didn't, their property and lives and genitals were fair game for Nazis.
Sanghis in India currently have the same attitude towards Muslims.

The practical and logistical question for India & the rest of the world is this.
Jews were barely 1% of Germany.
Muslims are 15-20% of India.
There are more Muslims in India than there are people in Brazil.
What do sanghis think the end game here is? Bring civil war to India?

Good morning. Today, St. Peter's Church will be holding her final Mass for the late President Magufuli.
This is the last time his motorcade shall turn left off Ali Hassan Mwinyi at Mbuyuni.
Raha ya milele umpe ee Bwana, na mwanga wa milele umuangazie. Apumzike kwa amani.

This being #Tanzania, @TBConlineTZ is talking to the Mufti and members of Masjid Aboubakar Zuberi in Chamwino that the late President helped to build. It is a beautiful structure, especially in the golden morning light.
Thats how we roll.
Waiting for Mass.

So, I was mistaken. The late President Magufuli is in fact being transported from Ikulu in Magogoni down by Ocean Road, one last time over Salendar bridge and a cruise on down past Leader's Club, then turn right into St. Peter's Church.
A lovely drive through a beautiful city.
