THREAD showing @DelhiPolice's "impartiality" & professionalism in investigating Delhi pogrom of 2020. An Order dated 8.07.2020 advised officers to take “due care and precaution” to avoid “Hindu resentment” while making arrests. 1/n
Of nearly 1750 people arrested in connection with the pogrom, over half are Muslim even though they were affected disproportionately. In @DelhiPolice charge sheets, almost 70% name Muslims as perpetrators, even in cases when only Muslims were victims. 2/n theguardian.com/world/2021/feb…
Sole breadwinner Faizan charged under draconian UAPA for crime of selling SIM card. Spent months in jail, lost his job, his family stricken with panic, fear & social stigma. @DelhiPolice was so "impartial" that Delhi HC saw no option but to grant bail thequint.com/news/india/del… 3/n
Where is the alleged victim Rahul? Has someone seen him? Bail is a right, but will cops who did this pay for imprisoning Babu & Imran? This would all be hilarious if it weren't just downright horrible. 4/n thehindu.com/news/cities/De…
Aarif is accused of killing another Muslim. Judge records his finding that it's "obfuscatory" that Muslim boy would become part of ‘unlawful assembly’ which mostly consisted of members of Hindu community
No CCTV footage, no call detail records, not named in the FIR. Bail granted. Why is it so easy to pick up Muslim boys & put them in prison? Why is there no "precaution" advised, why's there no fear of "resentment"? 6/n hindustantimes.com/cities/delhi-n…
3 boys have been in jail since April 2020 for allegedly killing Shahid from their own community. HC punches holes in @DelhiPolice's lazy theory. Based on nature of entry & exit wounds, it observed that firing was possibly caused by a long-range shot ndtv.com/india-news/3-a… 7/n
Anwar is accused of a crime allegedly committed on 24th Feb for which impartial Delhi police produced footage of 23rd Feb. Is Hazrat-e-Police claiming ilm-ul-ghaib? 9/n timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/del…
In some other cases, one cop took over 40 days to jog his memory. No one named or saw Alam, Rashid, Shadab. There's no CCTV footage 10/n
In 2 separate cases, Rashid an autorickshaw driver was picked up on non-existent evidence. In another case, Danish, a cab driver was also picked up despite proof that he wasn't even in vicinity of the incident. 11/n livelaw.in/news-updates/d…
63 yr old Liyakhat sb was in jail for 10 months. He was arrested twice before. HC granted bail & noted absence of video/photo evidence of him at crime scene. All "witnesses" including 2 cops made no complaint then but later said they saw him there 12/n ndtv.com/india-news/del…
Three brave women stand by what they witnessed: SI Harveer Bhati killed Furkan. But Bhati is not the one charged for the crime. Instead 4 Muslims are being scapegoated for killing Furkan. 13/n caravanmagazine.in/crime/three-ey…
Innocents have spent MONTHS in jail without proof. What these BJP leaders did is there for the world to see, but Delhi Police will not prosecute them. It's not "actionable evidence" that's lacking, it's courage & honesty

THREAD: You slashed 1024 crores from the Minority Affairs budget. The ministry's Budget Estimate of Rs 5,029 crores was slashed to Revised Estimate of Rs 4,005 crores. The cut comes to 20.36 percent in the current year. [1/n]
As per revised estimate, the allocations have been reduced by Rs 75 crores for Maulana Azad National Fellowship for Minority Students, Rs 25 crores for free coaching scheme, Rs 8 crores for interest subsidy on educational loans for overseas studies [2/n]
2 cr have been slashed for support for students clearing Prelims of UPSC/SPSCs. The cut for the educational schemes comes to Rs 110 cr. For skill development & livelihood schemes, allocations have been cut by 175 cr, including Rs 60 crores for skill development initiatives [3/n]

@PMOIndia is hesitant & afraid of even uttering CHINA's name? [1/n]
After 45 years China killed 20 of our soldiers & govt has insulted their supreme sacrifice. India cannot even patrol at the place where they were killed. China has occupied our territory in Ladakh, Arunachal Pradesh & Sikkim and @PMOIndia is afraid of even raising the issue 2/n
#मैं_आंदोलनजीवी_हूँ & I'm proud of it. Instead of constructing defensive border infrastructure in Arunachal, Sikkim & Ladakh, the govt has built it in #Singhu, #Ghazipur & #Tikri. Treatment ideally meant for Chinese soldiers is being meted out on protesting Indian farmers 3/n
THREAD: One can choose to worship

One can reject their faith of birth & adopt a new one.
This is LIBERTY of THOUGHT, EXPRESSION, BELIEF & FAITH that Constitution gives everyone. This Ordinance takes away this liberty & says 'aise kaise?!' [1/n]
Before we go on, remember that conversion does not mean that one stops being an Indian citizen or that they become 'lesser' Indians for some reason. This law thinks that freedom of religion is antithetical to India's identity, which'd be funny if it weren't dangerous [2/n]
The Ordinance defines mass conversion as 'two or more people converting', which means if spouses convert together it is a crime. This is a picture of Babasaheb at Deekshabhoomi, leading conversion of a 'mass' from Hinduism to Buddhism. The Ordinance makes this a crime [3/n]
#HyderabadRains I've personally seen the devastation that the deluge has caused to people in Hyderabad Parliament Constituency & Rajendernagar. People have lost their life savings, they've also lost essential all household items: stoves, clothes, utensils @TelanganaCMO [1]
I urge @TelanganaCMO to help these families get back on their feet. They're in distress & need urgent relief. According to GO MS 2 of 2015, houses that have suffered serious/partial damage are entitled to 95,100 rupees. 75% of this amount is to come from Govt of India [2]
In GHMC & its adjoining municipalities, the destruction due to flash-floods has been total. It is essential that the relief is given immediately. I understand that the State's finances are in a difficult situation due to the Centre's refusal to pay GST compensation [3]
THREAD: BJP was a strong votary of NRC in Assam. After the people of Assam went through a harrowing experience just to get themselves listed, BJP was disappointed because it didn't exclude enough Muslims. The bogeyman of 'millions of illegal immigrants' was busted. Now...
...they're trying to discredit the final list & restart the whole procedure so that an "adequate" number of Bengali Muslims can be excluded
They're using administrative trickery to say that the final NRC wasn't published & so it can be changed. It was published on 31 August 2019
The powers of LRCR & DRCR can ONLY be exercised before publication of NRC not after. RGI is yet to NOTIFY the final NRC. Any changes after publication of NRC are patently illegal
Put an end to this cumbersome process, NOTIFY the list. Don't drag it on for your political ends
On #Madrasas, 9 PM Nationalists should know some facts:
1 Many madrasas offer religious as well as non-religious education. Increasingly, many also offer modern skills such as computer literacy
2 How many Muslim kids go to Madrasas? Only 3%
3 A school offering religious...
...instruction is protected by one's fundamental rights under Articles 25, 26 & 30. Demonising Madrasas & the children who study in them is bad faith propaganda
4 GoI has funded Madrasa development for 20 years. While @PMOIndia has reduced the amount to 120 cr from 375 crore...
...even he hasn't done away with it. In fact, 6 state governments, including UP give grants to Madrasas. Governments have a duty to improve school education for all. What will 9 PM nationalists do when they realise that their Masters have been....*gasps*..."funding" Madrasas?!
