So @Tejasvi_Surya say he read a list given to him, claims that he simply read out the names he was given.
Who gave you the list, and why read an unverified list ?
Your apology still doesn’t count for the humiliation or harassment you put them through.

This was the smoke screen to divert attention from actual culprits — MLA Satish Reddy from BJP who has reportedly been using his influence to get beds blocked by the Bommanahalli Zone War Room.      timesnownews.com/bengaluru/arti…

As India reeled from the devastating covid-19 deaths, it censored critical content on social media. @project_polis's @watchthestate was temporarily restricted twice in one week. @kiccovich and I write about this censorship for the @washingtonpost
washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/…
Since March, as the Indian health infrastructure completely crumbled, social media platforms have become the de facto helplines where helpless citizens ask for help and offer mutual support.
To maintain a lived memory of the present and gather evidence to hold the state accountable, our account has been collecting and sharing instances of state violence from reliable news sources.

Pick your battles.
Your allies will never be perfect. There are no messiahs.
Not every disagreement has to be in the public eye.
Please don’t lose sight of the regime that has and is bludgeoning the democracy and its people.

Pick your battles, and be safe.
If I know someone is fighting the same battles, I trust that they are here for the fight; no matter how imperfect, I will not call them out. I will hold my peace in public but will speak my truth in private. This is as much a strategy as it is about the larger fight.
Remember we are stronger when we have each other’s back when fighting a regime that is violent and well funded. Our resources are our people. Invest in people. Create space for multiple decisive voices. But always pick your battles.

There Is No Case. Release the Bhima Koregaon 16 and Compensate Them m.thewire.in/article/rights… by @meenakandasamy and @jigneshmevani80
“This leads us to the inevitable question, why has the Modi government were targeted and incarcerated the Bhima Koregaon 16?
None of them committed crimes of any sort. None of them indulged in any violence.”
They remain in jail on the basis of claims made by the police based on electronic evidence. Now, when the two Arsenal reports make it abundantly clear that the electronic evidence was itself planted, all claims of conspiracy fall.
