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

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

This is for my friends outside India - thanks for your privately expressed concern, which is appreciated. Vastly more appreciated would be if you could take a minute to express it publicly. Mainstream media in many countries has been largely silent on the issue. (1/n)
At a dinner in Melbourne with a group of very well informed people, I found that most had simply not heard of what was happening, or if they were faintly aware, had no clue about the extent to which the State was clamping down on dissent in as violent a manner as possible. (2/n)

In #Mangaluru, stone-pelting mobs ignoring a temporary ban on public gatherings were repelled by police, a government official said.

A Reuters witness said police fired shots in the air in at least three areas and unleashed tear gas to scatter protesters.

Angry mobs in Lucknow set fire to dozens of motorcycles and cars, four media broadcast vans and three buses, police said.
