Indian judiciary and executive together doing a disgusting mockery of democratic process when you compare #YatiNarsinghanand getting bail in just a month and Dr kafeel Khan spending a year. Umar Khalid and others still in jail. We should all be ashamed of this.
RW pretend they don't know the issue. Muslim leaders getting far more punishments for doing no crime while Hindu religious leaders getting almost no punishment or very little for graver crime. Yati called for genocide, Khan called for unity. State used UAPA selectively.
Why UAPA on #Kafeelkhan but not on #YatiNarsinghanand? State police have absolutely no explanation. UAPA is a vague law. No proper definition of what is unlawful actives so a biased State is using it selectively against those they don't like eg Muslim leaders, liberals.

Allahabad High Court revokes use of National Security Act against Dr #KafeelKhan. He is likely to be freed after 212 days in jail without trial. "I welcome the decision & thank the court. This decision will be an example in history," his brother Adeel Khan tells @Saurabhsherry.
UP's #BJP govt had in February slapped the NSA on Dr Khan for an anti-#CAA speech, in which he had called home minister Amit Shah "motabhai" and said Shah could not see human beings but Hindus and Muslims
