You'll called Anti-national by IT cell impacted people

Karma' seems to be hitting hard on us because we were the same people who supported Govt when Farmers were called AndolanJeevis #FarmersProtest

Ideologically speaking, till now West has looked upon India as a country with an imposed Western democracy, a democracy that requires oversight by the West, to make sure India lives up to the liberal democratic ideals as perceived by the West.
West doesn't see India with an own democratic culture as West sees democracy itself as a Western (Greek) invention.

In this regard, it was important that on Feb 8th, 2021, Modi gave this clarification in Indian Parliament.

Check: @ 2:25

PM Modi said, "Our democracy is not a western institution. It's a human institution. India's history is filled with examples of democratic institutions. We find mention of 81 democracies in ancient India."

Centre's affidavit starts by quoting the Passports Act of 1920 and a host of other legislations. It also refers to the Nehru Liaqat Agreement was signed by Heads of Governments of India & Pakistan to protect religious minorities. #CAA_NPR_NRC

Majeed Ullah Khan (@MBTparty President) Statement on #SupremeCourt Refusing Interim Stay on #CAA; Challenges @AmitShah to Visit Ongoing #ShaheenBaghProtests to Face Public Instead of TV Debates. #CAA_NRC_Protests Read Full: tl.gd/n_1sr4hba /1
He contended that #ConstitutionofIndia is “Common Sense” codified. It's clear that #CitizenshipAmendmentAct goes against numerous Articles. It's appalling that Court deferred hearings in refusal to put interim stay on draconian #CAA and modified #NationalPopulationRegister /2
People’s trust in a truly secular, non-partisan #SupremeCourt is wavering. Moreover, refusal on interim #CAA stay has common public concerned regarding growing, free reign of a bigoted, right-wing #RSS-#BJP specter looming over nation that we continue to battle on all fronts. /3

I ask you @capt_amarinder to clarify if you are opposed to giving relief to persecuted Sikhs under the #CitizenshipAmendmentAct and whether you are fighting to get the entire Act rejected to end the relief given to Sikhs under the #CAA. /1 Image
Opposing the #CAA does nothing except fulfilling the anti-Sikh agenda of the @INCIndia. If you are really serious about giving relief to persecuted Sikhs in Pakistan and Afghanistan @capt_amarinder you should join the @Akali_Dal_ in seeking inclusion of Muslims in the CAA. /2
Rather than trying to befool Punjabis and create a smoke screen to divert attention from the abysmal failure of your government on all fronts @capt_amarinder you should tell Punjabis how Muslims will gain if the Sikhs are denied benefit under the #CAA. /3

Nair: Is there any Brahmin in your group?

BJP: No!

1/3
Nair: Is there any Nair(another cast) in your group?

BJP: Yes ..!
*Two raised their hands*

Nair: Only you two can come in!

BJP: *Hesitated*

Nair: Don't you hear me?

BJP: This is insulting. You can't make them sit outside just because they are not from a particular cast.

2/3
Nair: This is exactly what the #CitizenshipAmendmentAct is..! Indian constitution doesn't permit you to discriminate people in the basis of race colour or religion.

BJP: đŸ˜ĩđŸ˜ĩđŸ˜ĩ

Please read the text of the #CitizenshipAmendmentAct before you believe or disbelieve gurus. It's barely 3 pages.
If you aren't clear why NPR (national population register) and NRC are connected, here, read this:
Step 1: Section 14A, Citizenship Act 1955, on creating a nationwide citizens register and issuing national identity cards. It was added in the Act in 2003.
Read step 2 next.
How are NPR and NRC connected?
Step 2: Read Citizenship Rules, which detail how the citizens register will be made.
This is a little longer but easier language.
Note: The 1st time population register is mentioned ever is in these rules on how to make citizens register.

A thread explaining the provisions pertaining to #Citizenship in India and some concerns regarding the #CAA2019:

#CitizenshipAmendmentAct

1/9
Citizenship of India can be acquired by Birth, descent, registration, naturalisation or incorporation of territory.

Any foreigner on becoming eligible can acquire citizenship by registration or by naturalisation irrespective of his country or community.

#CAA2019
#CAB2019

2/9
#CAA2019 enables foreigners of 6 minority communities from 3 countries to apply for citizenship on basis of religious persecution

It does NOT amend any existing legal provision which enables any foreigner to apply for Indian citizenship through registration/naturalisation.

The smoke surrounding #CAA debate has everyone outraging but hardly anyone understands the historical, legislative or humanitarian context to it. I came across certain facts on why the CAA is the right step after a long delay which I summarise here. 1/n
#CitizenshipAmendmentAct is not an Act that the BJP or @AmitShah came up with to set some communal agenda. It was a just demand made by political parties across spectrum. Here is a letter CPI(M) General Secretary wrote to PM Manmohan Singh on May 12,2012 on Bengali refugees. 2/n
The letter by Prakash Karat rightly pointed out how “lakhs of families are affected, the majority of them from Scheduled Caste communities like namashudra, pondra khatriya, majhi etc.” 3/n

- I can no longer fix cabinets posts.
Practically no terror attacks & no sensitive information to pass on. I’ve lost my star status đŸ˜ĸ

- No one takes me seriously after MSG. The less said about my spouse the better.
- I have a stable of pedestrian writers but they’ve all been called out. Since my piece de resistance of one foggy winter night things haven’t looked good at all.

- My colour coordinated gamcha & my lazy voiced lawyer friend have lost our touch, it seems
- My boyfriend is locked up.

- From communist/atheist to a demure (I try) head covered Bibi I’ve been keeping count of the days we’ve been denied the internet but no one is listening.
