#Thread The FIR against @GretaThunberg isn't a joke. @DelhiPolice claims the toolkit is proof of a "conspiracy". In the protests against the Islamophobic citizenship law CAA, the same police used a WhatsApp group as pretext to arrest scores of activists for "conspiracy" to riot!
Likewise, members of the Elgar Parishad, who formed an anti fascist front and held a peaceful event which was attacked by far-right mobs, have been in jail for 3 years + now, accused of vague "conspiracies". In India under Modi, any plans to protest = conspiracy.
Meanwhile the @DelhiPolice did not even touch far-right Hindu supremacist hatemongers who instigated people to shoot Muslims & anti CAA protestors, and led rioting mobs to kill Muslims last year. Did not touch RW mobs that entered JNU campus, broke skulls of students & teachers
So it's clear that the @DelhiPolice plans to use the toolkit as a pretext to jail farmers leaders and their supporters. So while "FIR against Greta" may sound absurd, I hope it helps the world see & speak about the dark, grim, absurd reality we in India are living through.
Remember under Modi, activists in India are jailed indefinitely without bail or trial under the draconian UAPA law. Lawyers, scholars, students, feminists, secular activists, minority Muslim activists have all been jailed under this law. Farmers & their supporters will follow.
. @GretaThunberg @miakhalifa @AmandaCerny @rihanna @IlhanMN @AOC 🙏🏾 I hope you will all read up on, and amplify, the above issues.
