The judgement was pronounced on a petition filed by advocate Amit Sahni against the anti-CAA protests in Delhi’s Shaheen Bagh that went on from December 2019 to earlier this year.
Delhi Police says there are WhatsApp records of ‘key conspirators’ holding meetings & discussing consequences, including possible riots, and still going ahead.
Those questioned by Delhi Police share with me their harrowing experience of being repeatedly called to interrogation chambers and threatened with imprisonment.
In one respect, what is happening now is worse than 1984. Instead of just shielding the guilty, the police are actively going after anti-CAA protesters.
The ex-AAP councillor was arrested in connection with ongoing PMLA investigation into his role in funding of anti-CAA protests and riots in Delhi February, 2020.
The anti-CAA movement didn’t pose any political challenge to BJP. It’s the hope it generated that was dangerous — the idea that ordinary people could believe in a better India.
The report is based on a fact-finding mission conducted by National Federation of Indian Women which gathered testimonies from the injured and doctors & nurses who treated them.
For an industry globally classified as hazardous, protections such as health insurance and a provident fund for workers are necessities. In Sivakasi, they remain elusive.
The industry forecasts exports are set to grow 16% in 2025-26, boosted by surplus domestic production and a drive to push into 26 underserved global markets with strong potential.
Indigenisation level will progressively increase up to 60 percent with key sub-assemblies, electronics and mechanical parts being manufactured locally.
It is a brilliant, reasonably priced, and mostly homemade aircraft with a stellar safety record; only two crashes in 24 years since its first flight. But its crash is a moment of introspection.
So blocking the roads is fine with SC but it should not be indefinitely… wow, good verdict… but the SC failed to examine why the roads were blocked indefinitely…the reasons behind it, how about the firings that took place in shaheen bagh? why is sc quiet on it? how about fake fools who intruded these protests in shaheen bagh? its all one sided verdict from sc once again, as usual. Same way authorities failed to clear the kar sevaks from the Babri Masjid site, had they done that, no demolition would;ve happened, the same sc’s verdict would have been different. just bcos there is no opposition party who is strong enough to challenge this ruling govt. everything is under their contract and every govt. institutes dances to their tune..
Is Justice Sanjay Kishan Kaul the new Arun Mishra?!!
What’s the point of having a protest within your house compound?! Protests are held to be seen and to be heard! They are a means of bringing the people’s anger and anguish into the open. No doubt, the public is not be inconvenienced, but did the so-called ‘learned’ judges ask the administration why they blocked the alternate route to bypass the Shaheen Bagh protests?! Are they suggesting that the administration should have used force, or maybe fired pellets and blinded a few Dadis?! This judgement will surely be interpreted by an administration that sees peaceful protesters as anti-nationals, as a gun to go after everyone that opposes them!!
Also, why is the Hindu man who shot at protesters given bail, while the Muslim who did the same in jail?! Why are people who called for violence like Anurag Thakur and Kapil Mishra enjoying freedom, while those like Umar Khalid who asked for peaceful protests jailed under UAPA?! Is the judiciary blind or just conveniently looking the other way?! Why is Komal Sharma yet to be arrested?!!! Why wouldn’t the BJP do a Hathras – they know they’ll go scot free!!
Half-baked and a very weak justice. SC has trivialised the purpose and importance of the Shaheen Bagh protests by its verdict. When the stakes are as high as choosing between freedom and slavery, then the difficulties caused by such blockages should not matter at all. These difficulties when compared to the extreme hardships and loss of lives that resulted by clamping of the unplanned lockdown by the Government at a mere 3-hr notice are simply nothing.
Finally the Supreme Court opens up the way for the government to crack down on sundry protests which block roads and rails. Welcome to the new India where the citizen will not have to live at the mercy of the perpetually protesting masses.. Now us peaceful citizens can hold the government responsible for allowing protestors to stop public life. In China Xi would have simply shot all such protestors dead and thrown their bodies into Tibet.
Your scorn for the Shaheen Bagh protests, which though had a national significance but were spearheaded by the Indian Muslim women, are quite understandable. And that disdain seems to be so extreme and blind that while expressing it you forgot that the person you have quoted in your comment is the one who may or may not have thrown the bodies of the protestors into Tibet, but his army has certainly thrown the Indian soldiers into Galwan river from the height for them to die a dishonourable death- not very long ago.
If I give that woman 25 lakh rupees, she will start abusing and bashing up the Shaheen Bagh protesters. WE know a fake when we see one.
