I’ve instructed AIMIM #Uttarakhand Pres @DrNayyerkazmi1 to file a police complaint against #HaridwarHateAssembly. It’s a clear case of incitement to genocide. Our team has attempted to file it today but officers in Roorkee were unavailable due to other engagements 1/n
If strict action isn’t taken, then we’ll launch a state-wide agitation demanding arrest & exemplary punishment
The calls for genocide & ethnic cleansing against Muslims are culmination of 60yrs of dehumanising speech by Sangh Parivar against Muslims & Christians 2/n
Most speakers at the event are repeat offenders & enjoy close relationships with powers that be. BJP govts at Centre & state are complicit in this call for genocide
This is why there have been no arrests, no condemnation from govt & not even a whisper from moderate Hindus 3/n
Incitement to genocide is a crime under Genocide Convention 1948. India is party to the Convention but has failed to punish criminals. Is it time to join @IntlCrimCourt so that crimes against humanity like genocide, ethnic cleansing & their incitement don’t go unpunished? n/n

In order to distract from #HaridwarGenocidalMeet, a clipped 1 min video is being circulated from 45 min speech I gave in Kanpur. I’ll set the record straight:
1. I did not incite violence or give threats. I talked about POLICE ATROCITIES Here’s the full video in TWO PARTS [Cont]
2. As you can see in the above video & the one here, I was talking about POLICE ATROCITIES in Kanpur & addressing such cops who think they have immunity to violate people’s liberties because of Modi-Yogi
3. I said do not confuse our silence for acquiescence. 2/n
4. It’s an essential part of my faith to believe that Allah does not allow injustice. He punishes oppressors. We are taught the lesson of Firaun, the lesson of Namrud, the lesson of Yazid. Assuring people of Allah’s justice gives hope. We remember that Allah is with oppressed 3/n
The satellite images from the China border speak louder than the silence of PM Modi and his ministers. The truth is visible to all. China in inside the territory that was controlled by us. So called Disengagement is to our disadvantage.
PLA is keeping us under pressure by building more permanent infrastructure and deploying more troops on the border.
When I asked questions about the situation on the border in the Lok Sabha, all of them were illegally denied by a scared government.
Imagine the whole world knows the truth, including private analysts with access to satellite imagery, but Modi Ji keeps our own people in the dark.
Dealing with China needs a whole of nation strategy, where the whole country is taken into confidence.
Opposed the linking of AADHAAR & electoral rolls while government passed it in the din of the house. The law was passed as a farce. I wasn’t even allowed any time to raise my objections, while the Chair allowed the Minister to make a detailed statement 1/n
I had submitted in writing demanding a division of votes so that we could register our protest against this unconstitutional law but that was also not allowed. If I were allowed to speak, I’d have raised the following points: 2/n
1. The Minister said that linking AADHAAR & voter rolls is essential to prevent bogus voting. If bogus voting is widespread then govt is not only casting aspersions on ECI but also doubting the legitimacy of its own 300+ MPs & BJP’s electoral success in various states 3/n
महिलाओं के लिए शादी की न्यूनतम उम्र को 18 से बढ़ाकर 21 साल करने के प्रस्ताव को मोदी सरकार ने मंजूरी दे दी है। ऐसी पितृसत्तात्मकता मोदी सरकार की नीति बन चुकी, इससे बेहतर करने की उम्मीद भी हम सरकार से करना छोड़ चुके हैं। 1/n
18 साल के लोग क़ानूनी तौर पर अनुबंध पर हस्ताक्षर कर सकते हैं, कारोबार चला सकते हैं, चुनाव में प्रधान मंत्री, सांसद और विधायक चुन सकते हैं, लेकिन शादी नहीं कर सकते? 18 साल के उम्र में भारत के नागरिक यौन संबंध बना सकते हैं, बिना शादी के साथ रह सकते हैं, लेकिन शादी नहीं कर सकते?2/n
18 साल के किसी भी मर्द और औरत को शादी करने का हक़ होना चाहिए। क़ानूनी तौर पर 18 साल की उम्र के लोगों को बालिग़ समझा जाता है, और उन्हें अपने निजी ज़िंदगी को अपनी मर्ज़ी से जीने का हक़ है। तो शादी के मामले में ऐसी रोक-टोक क्यूँ? 3/n

Modi govt has decided to increase the age of marriage for women to 21. This is typical paternalism that we have come to expect from the govt. 18 year old men & women can sign contracts, start businesses, choose Prime Ministers & elect MPs & MLAs but not marry? 1/n
They can consent to sexual relationships and live-in partnerships but cannot choose their life partners? Just ridiculous.
Both men & women should be allowed to legally marry at 18 as they’re treated as adults by the law for all other purposes 2/n
Child marriages are rampant despite a law. Every fourth woman in India was married before turning 18 but only 785 criminal cases of child marriages were recorded. If child marriages have reduced from before, it’s due to education & economic progress, not criminal law 3/n
THREAD: 1. Govt wants to amend Registration of Births and Deaths Act, 1969. The amendment will allow Central govt to create a unified database of all registered births & deaths. Currently, this is carried out by states. But now Union will be allowed to collect data
2. The unified database will be used for NPR-NRC, electoral rolls, passports, etc. Currently, these are all separate processes. For example, electoral roll enrolment is done by an INDEPENDENT body, ECI. Now Union govt can allow birth/death register to be used for enrolment
This violates Article 324 of the Constitution that gives independence to ECI. It also violates the Constitution as the NPR rules are themselves unconstitutional and data should not be collected under it.
