New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Salman Anees Soz, who had fled to warmer climates, shared a solemn New Year’s message for his fellow Kashmiris.
Fellow Kashmiris: I know you have no internet even after 5 months and can't read this. But, while our collective situation is sad, the world is aware of your pain and resilience.
Since August 5, 2019, the reputation of your tormentors is in tatters.
May 2020 bring us hope.

BJP’s Swapan Dasgupta definitely needs to understand the reasons behind the protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA).
On The eve of 2020, I’m sad there are fashionable people on dharna in the Delhi cold to prevent refugees from Bangladesh securing Indian citizenship. They hate these unfortunate people who fled their homes & came to India to remain Hindu. Their heart bleeds for Palestine though.

Did BJP’s Priti Gandhi just let the cat out of the bag?
Meanwhile, the Centre is now considering making process of granting citizenship under #CAA online, to bypass states.
Technology, I tell you!😝

BJP somehow thinks posting animated videos on CAA will counter opposition to it.
विपक्षी दलों द्वारा CAA के संबंध में लोगों को भड़काकर अपनी झूठ-फरेब और वोट बैंक की राजनीति को चमकाने की कोशिश की जा रही है।
विपक्ष की इस राजनीति से बचें और साथ मिलकर देश के विकास में मोदी जी का साथ दें। #IndiaSupportsCAA pic.twitter.com/3GOHBv9jeV
