Ok fun story:

The Delhi Police just called. They asked me whether the protest we’re planning is pro-CAA or anti-CAA.

I said it’s neither. We want permission to chant “desh ke gaddaron ko goli maaro” against communal forces

He asked - “what are u protesting against”?

I said we’re protesting against communal forces & the incident that happened at Jamia yesterday.

The janaab says “oh protesting against the communalism at Jamia.

Ok come tomorrow - I’ll show you the spot where you can protest”.

I didn’t bother to correct him 🤷🏻‍♂️

So that’s how it works peeps.

To get a permission, u first need to declare whether you’re pro or anti CAA. And if they assume you’re “against Jamia”, permission is a breeze.

We live in surreal times.

Gotta get the permission in hand tomorrow unless things change 😊

As Modi ji famously said:

Pata hai na aap sabko? Nahin pata hai..kahaan pata hai.

(For what it’s worth, my written permission letter CLEARLY outlines and states the reason for the protest. In completely unambiguous terms).
