Delhi Special Executive Magistrate (SEM) court extends CJP leaders Saurav Das and Ashutosh Ranka’s judicial custody by 2 days.
Das and Ranka have been in jail since October 14.

People can have differences and nuanced takes on CJP but it is inexcusable to remain silent on the custody of Ashutosh and Saurav. This is an egregious violation of a citizen's liberty. Please speak up. If not on principle, than in self-interest, for this is setting a precedent.
The city has suffered a terrible incident with the stampede at Chorbagan. Many factors must have contributed to it.
What is weird however is the right wing / BJP supporters on overdrive saying "don't politicise the incident" to any questions being asked. Sit down, idiots.

At 10:30 pm last night, reports that @odisha_police detained Dr Randall Sequeira, doctor to Adivasi communities, and Laxman Naik, leader of affected villages opposing @Vedanta_Group’s mining in Niyamgiri and Sijimali. Their whereabouts are still unknown, no access to a lawyer.
NEW | Vedanta seems to be attempting to revive its stalled Niyamgiri bauxite mining project despite the Gram Sabhas’ rejection of mining in 2013, raising concerns that the Odisha government may be using the criminal justice system to weaken tribal resistance and clear the way for corporate interests. @Ayaskant_Das reports.

Abduction of citizens by cops in unmarked cars in the national capital in the presence of media can't be normalised. That is like the frog in the boiling water syndrome.
The courts have to wake up and punish the top Delhi cop, make an example of him, lest we next see encounters.

Goli maaro Saalon Ko is a peaceful protest. Holding the flag and demanding constitutional rights is treason.

Sorry twitter friends for yet another rant.
A well funded NGO has word-to-word copied a WIP project design that I had shared (with sufficient details) with their staff last year when they came to me wanting to establish roots in Kolkata.
Some things never change, I guess?

5 days judicial custody for trespassing and bail in 24 hours for molesting a woman protestor.

It’s horrific that RSS and other Hindutva goons are in the protests.
But, through this:
1. The majority will have a direct confrontation with the cancer in its society
2. The youth will get to learn how a pogrom—not a riot—happens with the goons being backed by the police

Not arrest, not coercive action, staying even an *investigation* of an alleged mass voter deletion attempt. 👇🏼
