Thread: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (#NCPCR)'s concern that children at the anti-#CAAprotest in Delhi "may suffer from mental trauma" not just reflects its hypocrisy but also how politically compromised Indian institutions are. (1/n)
While it finds children's demand for a fair India, in the company of their parents, a source of worry, it conveniently promotes trafficking of children by #RSS for ideological indoctrination. (2/n)
In June 2015, the Assam Commission for Protection of Child Rights wrote to the NCPCR (letter attached below) how 31 tribal girls from five districts of Assam have been trafficked by 3 RSS affiliated organizations in violation of several laws and taken to Punjab & Gujarat. (3/n)
The girls, as young as 3, were kept away from parents for yrs, not allowed to get in touch with them. Forced to speak in Hindi, give up on their customs, religion, food, embrace Hinduism. Taught how to aspire for self-immolation & how evil Muslim and Christian invaders are. (4/n)
I reported on these 31 cases but the numbers of trafficked children run in thousands. (5/n)

Independent institutions are the pillars of independent India. Most bureaucrats, government servants, people appointed by the government absolve themselves of any need to critique it & demand what is right. They should be held accountable too. Start with #NCPCR. (6/6)
