Four years since we published 'Operation BabyLift/Operation BethiUthao', an in-depth investigation on how three RSS affiliated organizations trafficked 31 Adivasi girls from 5 districts of Assam.

This 3-month-long investigation traced how the Sangh Parivar outfits took away these girls from the parents on the pretext of providing them free education and sent them to Punjab and Gujarat.

Once, they left, the parents could not only not get in touch with their daughters for over a year but had to also give away all documents and photos that could prove that they even had these daughters in the first place.

Just wanted to park it here that after 13 years of journalism and over a dozen international and Indian awards for my work, I still don't have a press card or any 'proof' that I am a journalist.

I have been working as an independent journalist for the last seven years.

Most of my reporting does not involve high profile people and tall buildings and so I have mostly managed without a press card.

But in Covid19 times, when there are restrictions & attacks on media has increased multifold, it is impossible to report from the ground without one.

All these years, I have resisted making a fake press card. I have also not used my own journalism connections to eke out a press card on principle. Since so many freelance journalists across the country dont have similar privileges.

@ArvindKejriwal

Close to 40 injured in the #delhiviolence at LNJP hospital under @ArvindKejriwal led Delhi govt. Some faced acid attacks, head injuries, eye injuries. One bleeding since 2am. Timely treatment not available. Relatives stopped from seeking help from journalists/activists.

@AamAadmiParty

Most from Mustafabad. Disappointing attitude from the doctors, staff, supervisors. In denial. Not even acknowledging that there are riot victims at the hospital. Standard bureaucratic responses. Everything that @AamAadmiParty campaign against during elections. #DelhiViolence

Marouf Ali, 32 from Bhajanpura was shot dead point blank on the forehead. His body is at LNJP. Will only be handed over 2mrw since the investigation officer Bhajanpura is unavailable to start post mortem procedure. He has 2 small children & ran an appliance store. #DelhiViolence

Thread: The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (#NCPCR)'s concern that children at the anti-#CAAprotest in Delhi "may suffer from mental trauma" not just reflects its hypocrisy but also how politically compromised Indian institutions are. (1/n)

While it finds children's demand for a fair India, in the company of their parents, a source of worry, it conveniently promotes trafficking of children by #RSS for ideological indoctrination. (2/n)

In June 2015, the Assam Commission for Protection of Child Rights wrote to the NCPCR (letter attached below) how 31 tribal girls from five districts of Assam have been trafficked by 3 RSS affiliated organizations in violation of several laws and taken to Punjab & Gujarat. (3/n)

Last week, #Modi govt told the Supreme Court that women don’t have absolute right to terminate pregnancy. I spoke to several urban, rural single women in 2013 & find out how common #abortions are. A moralistic lens pushes women to endanger their lives.

In India, a woman dies every two hours because she’s had an unsafe abortion, according to Ipas. I found out that lack of responsibility and sensitisation of the male partner was one of the main reasons for women to be clandestine about their situation and take the unsafe route.

The Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act came into effect in 1972 in India. The Act permits abortion if the doctor believes “in good faith” that “…the continuance of the pregnancy would involve a risk to the life of the pregnant woman or of grave injury to her physical...
