On Sunday, police smashed their way into the main library of #JamiaMilliaIslamia, firing tear gas shells as terrified students barricaded doors and hid inside bathrooms to protect themselves.

“It was a night of horrors," one student said.

Video footage shot by a student inside the library and reviewed by Reuters shows dozens of young students - including several women - scrambling for cover, cowering beneath desks, and jumping over metal and broken glass dividers as they attempted to flee.
My colleagues @sankalp_sp @aftabahmed00 and @zebatweets also spoke to several students trapped inside the campus to piece together what happened.

“There were continuous sounds of tear gas,” one student told us. “They were just beating any students they saw so cruelly.”

A short #Thread to dispel doubts on #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019
Q) Does the Bill disallow citizenship for #Muslim migrants ?
A) NO , The bill merely mandates any #Muslim migrant to spend 11 yrs resident in #India before applying for citizenship.
Q) Does #CitizenAmendmentBill discriminate against #Muslims who are citizens of #India or remove any privilege of citizenship they hold?
A) No, the #CABBill makes no comment on the citizenship of existing #Muslim citizens.
Q) Why does the bill disallow #Muslim migrants from #Pakistan #Afghanistan & #Bangladesh from it's ambit.
A) The Bill is meant to provide a safety valve for minorities in adjoining nations who do not wish to live under a #Islamic regime. #Muslims are a majority in these nations.

#CitizenshipBill isnt anti minority
CAB provides citizenship to those persecuted Hindus of PAK, Afghanistan,Bangladesh who are in minority in these regions. Muslims are in majority
Any persecuted Muslims can live in India by seeking asylum like author Taslima Nasrin
#CABBill
#CABBill Is not anti minority
Bigotry was to chalk out two nations on religious lines &a country which is unlivable for anyone who is of a different faith
CAB is actually a tight slap on d face of these Islamic Nations

What a significant year this has been.
Slowly inching towards the Hindu Rashtra. That is why it was imperative to have a Nationalist Govt at the centre.

Asaduddin Owaisi calling Amit Shah, "Hitler", in parliament has to be the high point of pretty much the worst day in the history of Democratic India today.

July 1933 - Nazi Germany
With the goal of excluding Jews from having full citizenship rights an Advisory Committee for Population and Race Policy met at the ministry of the Interior to discuss a new citizenship law
What followed was the Denaturalization Law passed on July 14. As a result of this law, the Reich government could take away the citizenship of those who were deemed "undesirable", applying to anyone who had been given citizenship by the Weimar government.

The sheer illiteracy of Indian media is frightening. They get talking points in Whatsapp from their handlers in Congress ecosystem and just parrot it without applying their own brain.

Case in point: Applicability of Article 14 in relation to #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 1/3
Article 14 bars the Indian state from discriminating among people (citizens as well as non citizens) basis their sex, religion etc. But ARTICLE 14 DOES NOT PREVENT POSITIVE CLASSIFICATION and give such people extra privileges in order. #CitizenshipAmendmentBill2019 2/3
Reservations, special rights to minorities, etc exist even while Article 14 holds. Essentially,Right to Equality (Article 14 ) does NOT prevent underprivileged, or persecuted from being treated unequally to help their social, economic status etc.

Indian Citizenship (1/1)
#IndiaCitizenship Act, 1955 and subsequent amendments to it are a sham
How #Indis's so-called Intellectuals & Lawmakers allowed this all
These acts made India as the heaven of Illegal migrants of a particular (sic) community.

Indian Citizenship (1/2)
the Denomination & scope of #IndianCitizenship manipulated (amended) 7 times in 1957, 1960, 1985/86 (3times), 1992, 2003 to carry forward nefarious agenda of INC.
If we failed to correct these errors, the future of True #Indians will be doomed

This man's hypocrisy is UNTAMABLE.

In his 2012 book Pax Indica, @ShashiTharoor said there are some 20 million illegal Bangladeshis in India. He wrote about them disparagingly, as though they were termites that had "disappeared into the Indian woodwork". Now he remembers Tagore. Image
In 2005, it was Tharoor's govt, the UPA, that proposed urgency in the drafting and the updating of the NRC in Assam.

The UPA Home Minister said he feared Assam could one day have a Bangladeshi chief minister. PM Manmohan Singh chaired the meeting. timesnownews.com/india/article/…
Also in 2005, Mamata Banerjee, outraging today, threw papers at the speaker, demanding a discussion on the scourge of illegal Bangladeshi migration.

She even resigned but her resignation was poorly drafted and misdirected and therefore wasn't accepted. indiatoday.in/india/story/wh…
