All those who were crying Modi is fascist are today silent as Bengal burns. They probably think Sitaram Yechury, outraging at the violence and bloodletting, is also a Sanghi.

My views on @TimesNow with @RShivshankar.

What is happening in Bengal right now happened in Kashmir 30 years ago. Are we going to allow Indians to become refugees in their own land again?

My views on @TimesNow with @navikakumar. #BengalExodusReport

Blood-curdling affidavits by victims of Bengal Violence are being ignored by those who claim they speak truth to power; media is shitting bricks; judges are recusing; and the Roys and Setalvads? They wake up only when victims are not Hindu women.

And you ask what is Fascism.

Spine-chilling ground report and victim testimonies of Bengal violence, meticulously documented by @azad_nishant.

The horror stays with you long after you have read this piece. But it must be read. By the State that is blind and the Centre that is asleep. organiser.org/Encyc/2021/6/2…

"Even minor girls were not spared." These & other observations by the High Court on Bengal violence are damning beyond measure.

Doubtless, had the UPA been at the Centre, and had these unspeakable crimes been committed on Congress workers, Bengal would be under President's Rule.

A month ago the SC issued a notice to the Centre to appear before it in the Bengal Violence petition.

Today the court was informed that the Centre hasn't even bothered to represent itself through a counsel yet. Matter was adjourned.

Explain this SHAMEFUL act, Mr @KirenRijiju.

You want to stop Punjab & Chhattisgarh CMs from visiting UP, fine. What stopped the CMs of 12 BJP States from visiting Bengal to stand with victims of post-poll violence? I ask this of the BJP.

The response: Our CMs didn't visit Bengal as we didn't want to spread unrest there.

How many out of the 12 BJP Chief ministers visited Bengal to take stock of the violence, to express solidarity with the BJP workers?

BJP's response: Our CMs didn't visit Bengal because we didn't want to spread unrest & violence there. Besides, ask this question to Mamata not us.
