(1/n)So in India protest game is going on. Some supporting them, specifically some of #Bollywood ,#Seculars ,self called #intellectuals and some are writing essays on this in social media just to get some likes, shares and comments.
Ok, its good but 1 question:- Image
(2/n)Have anyone read #CABBILL2019?
Or just believing in some whatsapp, fb,twitter shares?
CAB which was passed provides a path for Hindu, Sikh, Buddhist, Jain, Parsi and Christian religious minorities from neighbouring "MUSLIM" countries of Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Image
(3/n)Now some will argue
Why not Muslims, they are also tortured??

Ok, so in a officially declared Muslim country where their official religion is Islam and the muslims only in these countries are tortured then we must blame India or that country?

Reason being they face religious discrimination and persecution in these countries.

@abhijitmajumder Telling friendly neighbours that you have persecuted #minorities is bad #diplomacy and cocking a snook at those who stood by you in protecting your #NationalSecurity interests — #CABBill2019 conveys that to #Afghanistan and #Bangladesh: @jayanthjacob

NEWS: The Citizenship (Amendment) Bill passed today by the Indian Parliament legitimises discrimination on the basis of religion and stands in clear violation of the Constitution of India and international human rights law.

The Government of India denies any form of discrimination but the amendments clearly weaponise the #NRC process against Muslims.

@NewsFromAmnesty @scroll_in @nytimesworld @thenewsminute "The amendments also set a dangerous shift in the way citizenship will be determined in India. Worryingly, they also stand to create the biggest statelessness crisis of the world causing immense human suffering”, said Avinash Kumar @Avinash_1_Kumar.
