Comrade @Dipankar_cpiml addressing a PC at Muzaffarpur, Bihar in support of the alliance and @cpimlliberation candidate, the young activist Aftab Alam.
Comrade Aftab has worked for flood relief and people's welfare and rights, and justice in Bihar for a decade and a half - @Dipankar_cpiml
NDA leaders have no answer to the people's questions about jobs & welfare & migrants' rights. They're trying to divert by fear mongering about the Alliance and CPIML's presence in the Alliance, in particular. Why this desperation?
BJP is trying to whip up fear of the Alliance because people of Bihar are fearful of sadist BJP, of UP's Yogi Raj being repeated in Bihar. After all, Giriraj Singh is BJP's Bihar edition of the notorious Yogi whose Raj is known for rapes & repression - @Dipankar_cpiml
What is the case against our candidate Aftab? He held dharna for justice for a young farmer, Mukesh Yadav, whose murdered police was passing off as suicide. BJP, NDA gets criminal cases against its leaders dropped, while others are arrested for demanding justice! @Dipankar_cpiml
यू पी में योगी राज की तरह बिहार में गिरि-राज न बने - यही बिहार के लोगों का डर है. इस डर से नज़र हटाने की कोशिश में ही भाजपा महागठबंधन और खासकर के गठबंधन में भाकपा माले के रहने को लेकर डराने की कोशिश में लगी है. अनाप शनाप बातेँ कर रहे हैं. - @Dipankar_cpiml
चुनाव पैसे वाले नहीं पसीना वालों का हो. भाजपा ने जो किसान कानून लादा है वह खेती की नीलामी और किसानों की गुलामी का दस्तावेज़ है. नीतीश भाजपा ने 2015 के जनादेश के साथ धोखा किया. - @Dipankar_cpiml
Aftab is speaking about the fact that people of Muzaffarpur, Aurai need to be free of bamboo bridges - chachri ka pul. Nitish in 15 years of development has not paid any attention to this need indianexpress.com/elections/lok-…
Iqbal Sami saab from RJD is speaking at the PC now, expressing confidence in the victory of the Alliance candidate from CPIML Aftab Alam.

Hey @sharmarekha - what on earth is a "love jehad" case? Any case in which a Muslim man and Hindu woman are in love? How dare you remain in your chair as @NCWIndia chief & use a term that a) treats women as property of communities b) hates Muslims? You bring shame to NCW.
Dear @sharmarekha - I have researched the so-called "love jehad" claims extensively (written a whole book about it) and am yet to find a SINGLE case where such claims have been vindicated. Please tell us a single case where the "crime" of "love jehad" has been proved.
In my book #FearlessFreedom@PenguinIndia, I profile the courageous women who have had to take on bigots like you, who sadly head courts and women's commissions and ministries. Remember the supposed Meerut "love jehad case"? It turned out to be a love case, they're married now.
Thread on the @adrspeaks PC yesterday on alleged "criminal candidates" in Bihar elections. I will explain why ADR's methodology is unprofessional, inaccurate and non-transparent. It equates activists falsely accused of crime (Delhi riot probe style) with criminals-turned-netas
The @adrspeaks released a graph showing that 100% of @cpimlliberation MLAs declared criminal cases. CPIML wears those criminal cases against MLAs as badges of honour, because they are obviously false, punishment for standing with the poor, read: cpiml.net/.../12/no-excu…
Criminal cases do not imply guilt, they show that the ruling regime and administration has filed cases against you, cases which are often false & motivated. The @adrspeaks report does not mention this fact.
In the discussion jostled by @rahulkanwal on @IndiaToday
I wasn't allowed to comment on the discussion re PFI. I wanted to say: there are at least two caste & Hindu supremacist radical outfits based in Western UP and Hathras itself: Savarna Parishad & the Hindu Yuva Vahini.
The anchor should have questioned the fact that "literature" cannot be "suspicious", cannot be grounds for arrest, least of all of a journalist. If Savarna Parishad or HYV or Hindu Janjagran Samiti (accused in blasts) can move freely to any village in India why not PFI?
All the violence seen in Hathras has been on part of caste supremacists: who raped, fatally injured the victim, their men in uniform burned her body to destroy evidence, besieged her family, HYV chief the UP CM paid @ConceptPR_India to spin narrative to paint the victim as liar.
We need to ensure the movement for #JusticeForHathrasVictim is sustained. It must be an anti caste, anti patriarchy, anti Manuvad movement. Come join us in burning effigy of Manuvadi UP CM, & his Manuvadi article opposing reservations & supporting women's slavery to men.
This is a screenshot from Yogi's article which was on his website from 2014 to 2017, taken down after he became CM. It attacks SC ST OBC reservations. Article title "Matrshakti, Bhartiyata ke sandarbh mein"
Another screenshot from Yogi's 2014 article, where he says women will become demons if they do "men's work" (he implies being an MLA or MP is men's work, since he is arguing against women's reservations). Note, article is not on website but its 404 error footprint still is!
Upper caste panchayat in Hathras echoes the same line that the court verdict acquitting Dalit gangrape survivor Bhanwari Devi's rapists did: say 'we do not even take water touched by those people, how can our boys touch their girl?' Rank, rotten casteism stinking in the open. 🤮
Wondering what the Bhanwari Devi (stinking of casteism) verdict was? See the attached, and the link in the next tweet. Remember, the criminal justice system as well as upper caste & BJP leaders joined up then to brand saathin Bhanwari a liar, just as is happening now in Hathras
Bhanwari's husband & friend, pillar of support Mohan Lal (pic) was forced to watch as his wife was gang raped: both were subjected to an anti Dalit atrocity by dominant caste Gujjars incensed at Bhanwari's activism against baby girls being married off. He passed away this week.
The Hathras gangrape victim passed away.
Speak about the reality of assaults on Dalit women and girls. Connect dots, show larger picture of structural violence against Dalits, Dalit women. Don't isolate, exceptionalise this case as a gruesome aberration.
With 51,824 cases of crime against SCs registered under PoA Act between 2009 and 2018, UP ranks 1st among in the category with 22.38% of total crime. Speak about justice in those 51824 (& more) cases if you're interested in justice for the #Hathras victim. newsclick.in/crimes-dalits-…
Cases of atrocities against dalits & adivasis have increased by 281.75% & 575.33%, respectively, from 2009 to 2018, recorded under PoA Act, which also has abysmally low conviction rate. How many prime time TV anchors, shedding tears for #Hathras victim now, spoke of this?
