Toxic, terrifying scenes in Delhi even as Trump and Modi ramp up the bonhomie. Without justice and accountability, and the assertion of the rule of law, the fear of violent recent history repeating itself looms ever larger in Modi’s India.

#DelhiBurning #DelhiViolence
These stories & images - which should make headlines everywhere - call to mind the violent pogroms inflicted on Delhi’s Sikh community in 1984 & the subsequent failures to demand and prioritise justice & accountability. So impunity reigns. #DelhiViolence theguardian.com/commentisfree/…
The detail, the shouts of “Jai Shri Ram”, these descriptions are frightening. As Trump stands by and praises Modi on freedom of religion, where is Modi now? #DelhiViolence #DelhiBurning

Even as protests over #CAA rage across India, a review of government orders (GO) by TOI shows that the government has been steadily placing hurdles in the way of Muslims seeking Indian citizenship since December 2014. #ConstitutionBench #NRC #SupremeCourt
timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/before-c…
The most significant GO is the October 22, 2018 amendment to the Passport (Entry into India) Rules, 1950 and Foreigners Act, 1946, discriminating against Muslims and atheists for the grant of long-term visas (LTVs). The changed LTV regulations say..
, “Only members of minority communities in Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, namely, Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains, Parsis and Christians, are eligible to apply for long-term visas.”

#CAA hearing begins in the #SupremeCourt. Attorney General KK Venugopal starts by saying the Centre has prepared a preliminary affidavit that will be filed today. Sibal asks for a #Constitution Bench to which #CJI replies saying this might go to the larger bench

#CAA_NRCProtests
Sibal: NPR begins in April so some interim order could be issued..

Centre opposes it, saying arguments will have to be made if any interim plea has to be argued.

AM Singhvi cites UP example, says this is an irrevocable process.

CJI: We may ask them to issue some temporary permits for the time being.

AG: The law itself talks about taking back the citizenship in certain situation.

Dear @FarOutAkhtar, noticed your regret over the WRONG Map of India which is a give-away that you have been misled on #CAA
Sharing a THREAD on implications of #CAA, also debunking unfounded lies and falsehood.
Please spread it to your Muslim followers for peace & calm to prevail.
@FarOutAkhtar 2. Here is THE CITIZENSHIP (AMENDMENT) ACT, 2019 as published in The Gazette of India. Whoever wants to form an opinion on #CAA should read at least this 2-page amendment first:
CC: @FarOutAkhtar
egazette.nic.in/WriteReadData/…
@FarOutAkhtar 3. #CAA gives people of Hindu, Sikh, Jain, Buddhist, Parsi, and Christian faiths fleeing "RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION" from Pakistan, Bangladesh, & Afghanistan, who reached India on or before Dec 31, 2014 - a ONE TIME pardon to make them eligible for citizenship of India.

To everyone who may eventually rea this, I wanted to help those not in India understand what #CAA or #CAB is and why many parts of India are rising in protest, leading to a suppression of dissent using police force, which may or may not be reported on in the press.
The government of the nationalist, Right-wing party carried out an exercise in the Indian state of Assam where they drew up a Citizen's List. Anyone who didn't appear on the list had to then appear before tribunals and prove that they *were* citizens of India. (2)
Ostensibly done to weed out illegal immigrants, it was widely perceived as an anti-Muslim exercise, designed to disenfranchise Muslim citizens, in keeping with the Hindutva (or Hindu supremacist) ideals of the ruling party, on the strength of which it roared into power. (3)

#India readies a Kilo submarine for #Myanmar - India is set to hand over to Myanmar its first ever submarine, with a Kilo class boat likely to be sent this year after being refitted indigenously 👍 economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/defence/t…

Via @Ayush59505784
INS Sindhuvir will be used by the Myanmar Navy — which is looking at acquiring a submarine fleet in the coming years, for training purposes. The Kilo class submarine, bought from Russia in the 1980s, is currently being modernised by the Hindustan Shipyard Limited (HSL) in Vizag.
The work is likely be completed before the end of this year. The transfer of the submarine is likely to take place with a line of credit (LoC) that has been extended by India to Myanmar for enhancing military capability.
