A thread about the new fact finding report on the anti-Muslim pogrom in Delhi by Indian NGO, Call for Justice.
The report is an abomination. It will incite more violence against Muslims, further enable impunity & contribute to the ongoing crackdown on dissidents & journalists.

The report blames Muslims & women's rights advocates for the pogrom. It accuses them of spreading hate speech and disinformation, and "brain washing, programming and wiring" communities.
It even suggests that mosques & Imams actively amplified this agenda.

It also claims that the attacks were "pre-planned" and "organised," and that Muslims pulled their children from schools and closed businesses in advance of the attacks because they had prior knowledge.
The report literally BLAMES MUSLIMS for the anti-Muslim pogrom.

The agenda is clear: erase the atrocities committed by Hindutva nationalists in Delhi, and ignore how police and govt authorities supported and encouraged the pogrom.
This will INFLAME anti-Muslim violence & exacerbate the culture of impunity that has long reigned in India.

The report also blames social media & the internet for catalyzing the violence. It calls for the "blocking of internet, removal/blocking of relevant contents, deleting the fake profiles."
It even calls for action against "twitter accounts whose posts were forwarded 1000 times."

India already LEADS THE WORLD IN INTERNET SHUTDOWNS.
Also social media helped stop the pogrom, as many in the media & govt looked the other way or even encouraged the violence. The content that the report seeks to censor documented the atrocities & saved lives.

For a great breakdown on the inaccuracies and falsehoods of the report, and the biased and discredited news sources it draws upon, please follow the work of @ArchitMeta @Pooja_Chaudhuri and read this essay:

I fear that this report will lay the groundwork for an "official" government report, which will mirror its findings.
Here's the truth: India under Modi & Amit Shah is a fascist, authoritarian state that has waged war on minority communities, free speech, and free press.
