Singhu border being vacated is FALSE NEWS. Everything's chill here, they're making arrangements for people from other sites who are being asked to vacate.
Protestors are determined to not leave, despite news of their Union Leaders being "set" by the government. Dinner preparations at langars have begun. Palwal protestors are moving to Singhu and Tikri after police & force was deployed, water was cut off.
AajTak has been the prime spreader of fake news! The only "hulchul" happening here is preparation for dinner.
I forgot my jacket & was feeling cold so asked the volunteers to give me one if they have in donation store. They gave me a PUMA 😂🙈
Situation very tense at Ghazipur though. They were given an ultimatum to vacate by 3.30 pm but nothing happened.
Friend Vibhu Grover says extraordinary police deployment at Ghazipur now. They've even removed CCTV cameras under the pretext of taking footages from it.
30 minutes to clear Ghazipur border.

People you're seeing in TV posing as locals of #SinghuBorder are NOT locals. Infact, locals are extremely warm with the protestors. This is what real locals have to say!
No one has a problem with protestors at #SinghuBorder. Who were the ones who came to protest??
What are your views on the Kisaan Andolan after 4-5 incidents of aggression that happened today in #KisaanParade? Has your perception changed?
Sitting with some young people who've been protesting peacefully since 60 days, including today & feel disheartened how today's actions
by some people has taken a very well meaning movement behind by a thousand steps. Your response could help them understand the perception and re-think on their next steps.

Note: I still support the movement, but I am not in support of what happened today. I am equally disheartened because a fantastically curated movement has become synonymous to hooliganism today in common perception because of what a group did.
Was at a Shiva temple & I made just one prayer - may karma bite back every single BJP bhakt for their complicity to make what India has become today. Soft bhakt, hard bhakt, silent bhakt, every single one.
Every abuse hurled, every lathi charged, every dignity tempered with, every slap, every bone broken, every stab...EVERYTHING will come back right at you.
Shiva will destroy your very existence.
With all that bhakts have done, this doesn't even feel like a vile thing to wish for anymore. YOU DESERVE IT.

@DelhiPolice Isn't this proof of an organised terrorist attack?
Also some of you liberals on the group, don't be stupid. When you get in the group and bash them, they get suspicious and remove you. We lose access to information.
I retracted a harassment case today. A thread on why:
Some context - This was 2013, I was in college in Ahmedabad. My friend and I had gone to Bhadra Fort - I went to the Bhadrakali temple while she stayed outside, checking out earrings outside. When I came outside, I saw her
trying hard to get out of hold a man. He was a hawker in the Bhadra market. He held her by the wrist, touched inappropriately and kept saying lewd things. I tried to get my friend out of his clutch so he held me too, repeated. I slapped him and moved back (must have been a funny
scene because he was huge and I am 5'3). No one intervened to help. We left but that evening, I called a journalist from @ahmedabadmirror I had written a fan mail to once. I asked how can I file a complain, and she guided me. Complaint wasn't lodged until she
