1. While Newspapers, media and investigation agencies were focused on Ludhiana blast case during past few days, Journalist Harpreet Singh Kahlon has come up with an important documentary for @The_Unmute about #MaurBlast of 2017.
Video:
2. Five out of seven victims, who lost their lives during Maur Blast, were children.
3. Media reports kept mentioning the this case till the political and bureaucratic setup was claiming foreign hand behind it.
4. The moment investigation team found domestic hand of Dera Sauda Sirsa in this blast, the investigation was stopped.
5. Investigation team, which was expecting appreciation for cracking the case, was shocked when it was told to snub the details.
6. Neither government owned the outcome of investigation, nor newspapers and media (with few exceptions) showed any interest in it.
8. Harpreet Singh Kahlon says that it was a co-incident that while he was working on Maur Blast case for @The_Unmute, another incident (Ludhiana Blast) took place.
9. But his work (documentary) rightly shows that the behavior of political and bureaucratic in each of such case is not coincidental.
10. I recommend everyone to watch this documentary carefully, especially Harpreet Singh Kahlon’s talk with Ranbir Singh Khattra, the Maur Blast SIT chief.
#Thread — #StopTargettingSikhYouth 1. Recent arrests of 2 Sikh youth, & mother of one, is not an isolated case. 2. These arrests are part of a series. 3. Many young Sikhs from Punjab are put behind the bars in recent years on similar allegations, some on even serious allegations.
4. They all were arrested for allegedly supporting or propagating a non-recognised, non-binding online voting campaign. 5. Notably, that campaign is being run by those who are active openly in USA.
7. India says that this campaign is a very serious matter for it, but still it is keeping its diplomatic ties with the USA in a usual manner. 8. It shows that in reality GoI does not take this campaign that much seriously, otherwise it might have pressed USA on this issue.
