“i am not a BJP supporter, but i don’t see any…”

This party came to power after organising countless protests, often without permission, but now that it’s in power, the same right to protest has suddenly become a law and order problem. BJP wanted the streets when it was fighting for power; now it wants barricades when citizens want answers. Apparently, protest is a democratic right when BJP does it and a threat to public order when people do it against BJP.

Kudos to Neha Bora & her exceptional leadership qualities. CJP’s Jantar Mantar protest was practically neutralised by Delhi Police. Thousands of cops deployed, roads barricaded, internet suspended across a 4 km radius, CJP founder & spokesperson detained, Dhruv Rathee detained before he could join the protest. And while the entire machinery was busy crushing a protest, neha bora & her followers apparently decided to switch plans and move to dilli haat, roughly 8 km away from jantar mantar. Imagine announcing a protest to save democracy, watching the entire leadership get picked up, seeing the capital turned into a fortress and then having to improvise because the government has made reaching your protest site a mission of its own. The government turned Delhi into a fortress to stop a protest. The real question is: what exactly is the government so afraid of? because when citizens demanding accountability are treated like a national security threat, the problem isn’t the protesters. It’s the people in power.

delhi put under lockdown for one man. 25,000 police personnel deployed for one man. thousands of citizens detained across india for one man. trains cancelled & metros shut down for one man. more than 1000 cameras installed around protest site for one man. journalists detained for covering news against one man. barricades across the capital to shield one man. citizens denied their democratic right to protest for one man. an entire government scrambling to shield one ma and they still these shameless clowns have the audacity to call india the world’s largest democracy when the entire machinery of the state is being weaponise just to shield one man from accountability. vishwaguru for a reason🙏🏻

people who are celebrating dhruv rathee’s detention need to realise how fucking rotten political discourse in this country has become. they worship gods, preach patriotism, and then they worship gods, preach patriotism and then wish death and violence upon their own countrymen for daring to question the government.. he came to india despite the risks, leaving his wife and child behind in germany. when a critic has to worry about being detained or facing legal action for speaking against the government, what exactly are these people celebrating? the government doesn’t need to silence every critic if it can turn millions of citizens against anyone who dares to speak. brand them anti-national, call them foreign-funded, question their citizenship and let the mob do the rest. this is how democracy dies. not necessarily by abolishing elections, but by making dissent socially unacceptable and blind obedience a badge of patriotism. the irony is that these clowns claim to love india, yet celebrate the very tactics that can one day be used against them. because today it’s dhruv rathee & other independent journalists who are being detained at their hotel. tomorrow it could be any journalist, student, activist or ordinary citizen who is closely related to you & who refuses to fall in line. a government is temporary. a country belongs to its people and patriotism is not measured by how obediently you worship those in power 🙏🏻

dhruv rathee can be wrong. rahul gandhi can be wrong. musk can be wrong. but watching right wingers change their entire argument the moment someone questions modi or ambani is just pathetic. yesterday musk was a visionary & starlink was future technology but today he’s a congress agent. same man. new opinion. because the target changed. that’s not ideology my brotha. that’s political fanboyism & signs of weak spine.

> doctors showed up to provide medical assistance to the injured. > cause they got to know there was only one ambulance ₹ two doctors available. > the number of protesters had crossed 1 lakh. > more than 300–400 people were injured in the indiscriminate baton charge by delhi police and RAF personnel. > women were beaten by male RAF personnel and male police officers who had covered their faces with handkerchiefs. > personnel & some policeman had removed their name tags to avoid being identified later. > doctors treating the injured were also lathi-charged. > even patients with broken bones receiving treatment were not spared during the lathi charge. > yes delhi police peacefully handled the protest with zero violence 🙏🏻
