Remember?

#ShaheenBagh was a roaring success and the brave women there showed us how it's done.

I have said this multiple times, saying it again. The NEXT big agitation should be against media houses, starting with Noida film city.

It should be a peaceful sit in protest...

And there should be so many people there in film city, protesting against channels there, and the employees - no matter what they do in these organisations - should face us while going in and coming out, just sitting there, voicing our protest.

We call for accountability.

If they publish crap, they should know there are people right outside to question the shit they published. Vulture editors should know there are people outside, and a lot of them, who could just barge in if they run propaganda. Guests attending bullshit debates should know.

And the drastic step. You know what hurt Sanghis the most after abrogation of Article 370 and passing of CAA? The fact that people, close to them and strangers alike, decided to take a stand against sanghipana, that children fought parents, brothers fought brothers...

WhatsApp groups became battlefields. A lot of sane people said 'Enough is enough', they said out loud that they won't take casual Islamophobia and anti-intellectualism in silence. They unfriended Sanghis, blocked them, decided not to engage at all. I have done this in my family.

And I know friends who have done the same. A friend didn't talk to her parents, who celebrated blackout in Kashmir, for weeks just to make them realise how people in Kashmir felt. Sanghis had meltdowns knowing people they knew were refusing to engage because of their vileness.

They still do. This is a recent example.

SOCIAL ISOLATION. This is drastic, but people working with media vultures should be called out, singled out and forced to either shake up things in their organisations or resign. We have EMIs to pay cannot be an excuse anymore.

THE NEXT AGITATION SHOULD BE AGAINST MEDIA HOUSES. EVERY SINGLE EDITOR AND PRODUCER AND REPORTER RESPONSIBLE FOR FAKE NEWS AND FAKE NARRATIVES SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND SINGLED OUT. THEY SHOULD FACE THE HEAT INSTANTLY. EMPLOYEES AIDING THIS SHOULD BE SINGLED OUT.

QUIT.
