Tongam is one of the most fearless journalists I know. By good measure, one of the most respected one from Arunachal Pradesh. She is also my sister. For years she has written without fear and without favour to the political-contractor class.
For this she was once shot at in 2012 and barely survived the attack on her life. That never stopped her. This won't either. I know.
Sunny is a lawyer of great repute, who takes on a lot of public purposed litigation to support people. She is a lawyer for the environmental activists. I know her well too.
Neither journalism nor defending your clients is a crime.
Using state power to intimidate is a crime.
🚨 Arunachal Pradesh police applies for search warrants against one of state's most respected journalists, Tongam Rina, associate editor @arunachaltimes_ and lawyer Sunny Tayeng who represents environmental activists Ebo Milli, Otul Jerang and Tajong Talom.

35 Years in Journalism. But No Money for Treatment?
A veteran Urdu journalist in Hyderabad, who served the profession for 35 years, died at just 56 in a government hospital.
His family reportedly approached two private hospitals but struggled to afford even the bill at a relatively low-cost hospital in the Old City.
This is more than a personal tragedy. It raises serious questions about our healthcare system. 👇

Hey @ncbn who told you it is about EVMs? Are you not paying attention to what is going on? Or are you a beneficiary, like @NitishKumar, in this nice little scheme?
