What happened in Bangalore is criminal.
Both the nasty Facebook post which was absolutely intended to rile up & hurt religious sentiments & the ensuing violence.
Law and order is supreme and cannot be compromised with in a modern civilization.
1/n
#BangaloreViolence
But remember the Bulandshahr violence in December 2018? Bunch of gaurakshaks & hindutva nutjobs put a police station on fire.
A policeman was killed. All seven accused are out on bail.
When rioters get this kind of encouragement, what can be expected in the future? 2/n ImageImage
Remember the violence during Padmavat release? ImageImage
Point is simple.
If the entire Hindu community was not responsible for the actions of nutjobs, the same applies for Muslims.
Let's not have violence or hate speech or othering.
That's BJP/RSS agenda, not the ordinary Indian's natural inclination.
We ARE better than this.

Have you guys read this piece of shit article by Tavleen Singh?

She begins with how India is in danger not from Hindutva Fascists but from "jihadists".
She implies that Hindu extremists are better than Muslim extremists because a Muslim extremist once chopped off the hand of a teacher in Kerala.

Of course Ms. Singh doesn't once mention the hundreds of Muslims who have been lynched for dietary choices or for just existing.
No Pehlu Khan or Akhlaq or little Asifa who was raped and killed because of her religion is mentioned once.

No Najeeb who disappeared into thin air is remembered.

No Gauri Lankesh who was executed on her doorstep by Hindu fanatics is talked about.

Yesterday I was disgusted to find a woke dalit handle go #BrahminicalPatriarchy over that a$$hole MP cop beating his wife and rightfully being hit back.

Now you might think why was a bemused?

Does #BrahminicalPatriarchy not exist?

Oh if only!
It's because it does and is way effing more retarded than domestic violence.

Ramu, Sandeep, Ravi and Luv Kush raping the dalit girl from Hathras and paralysing her and inflicting unspeakable wounds on her is #BrahminicalPatriarchy
A girl goes to gather fodder for her herd of animals and she is raped to death.
Yes, she died this morning.
It's not effing casual. It's dark, psychotic, disgusting, as bad if not worse than racism. So kindly don't use that term for every crime against woman.

Please don't forget:

Demonetization broke the backbone of small and medium businesses, of farmers, of daily wage earners.

Yet most of them went ahead and voted for Modi in 2019

For once let us forget lynching of minorities, murder of activists and purchase of MLAs.
But demonetization hurt them at a personal level.

Yet they voted for Modi.

During dark days I used to think that Indians voted Modi "to show Muslims their place".
I don't think that was ever the reason.
The reason is Godi media and it's propaganda.
Kindly go to your digital tv app

Check the tariff for propaganda television.

Republic is free!

AajTak is a few paise

When propaganda is packaged as news cum entertainment, people will consume it.

First thing required is a hold over media.

Everything else will fall in place.

I think Congress supporters should refrain from supporting any other political party unless an official coalition is formed.

Be it Mamta Banerjee or Pinarayi Vijayan.

Concentrate on your own party

Write about the wonderful work being done in Chattisgarh.
Write about the dedication of your chief ministers from Captain Amarinder Singh to Ashok Ghelot.

Write supportive posts about coalition CMs like Uddhav Thackeray and Hemant Soren.

But keep equal opportunity leaders like Ms. Banerjee or Kejriwal at arm's length.
While Kejriwal stands exposed after Delhi riots, the next to fall in line will be Mamta.

Mark my words.

Maybe Congress' chance of winning Bengal looks slim only due to optics.

Because the way it is shown in media, it's as if the top contenders are TMC and BJP in West Bengal.

India has 545 elected representatives in the Lok Sabha.
I think it would be interesting to see what they have been saying for the last 15 months since elections last May.
To that effect I will be dedicating one tweet to each MP of India's Lower House in the ensuing thread. 1/n
“BSNL has a system filled with traitors. In the coming days we will be removing all 88,000 employees."
BJP MP Anantkumar Hegde
