    I don’t act like I know and/or understand everything that’s happening around the world (I try); however per my readings India’s new citizenship law may leave millions of Muslims without citizenship. This is anti-Muslim and unconstitutional.

    Intense protests against a divisive Indian citizenship law that excludes Muslims have spread to university campuses across India, fuelled by a brutal police crackdown on a demonstration in Delhi at the weekend. We report from Delhi, WB & Assam

    Ahmer is doing amazing work in an impossible environment.

    Last night while returning from work around 12:30 am a police van with three officials were outside my guesthouse in Guwahati. They stopped me & my colleague & asked several questions regarding why we are here. They took the contact of guesthouse's owner and left in 15 mins. 1/3

    The three police officials came inside the room, took our personal details and asked several questions regarding our work in Assam. The questioning lasted for 25 mins. Still wondering what was this about & why come twice in the middle of the night/early morning. 3/3

    Around 4:45 am in the morning, there was a loud knock at my door with guesthouse caretaker, visibly shaken saying 'police are here, police are here'. I came out and saw three Assam police officials and four CRPF personnel with guns. 2/3

    This journo relentlessly reported on Kashmir and Indian government's crackdown. BJP trolls called him anti national. Some trolls were Assamese perhaps. Now he is reporting for Assam. This is why you need journalists not Modia. You never know when u need them to speak for you.
