Public security bills spreading like a disease...
If this #Maharashtra govt bill is passed, the police can enter your house, look for literature that can be used for "Unlawful activities", which means anything they say promoting "urban naxalism".
Another WhatsApp fantasy criminalised

At @journalismfest #ijf24, CPJ organized a moment of silence and solidarity with journalists in #Gaza, who are suffering an unimaginable toll and whose daily work keeps us informed with facts that shed light on the human condition and help to hold power to account.

END 21st Day OF MY #CLIMATEFAST
I'll be back...
7000 people gathered today.
It was the end of the 1st leg of my fast. Btw 21 days was the longest fast Gandhi ji kept.
From tomorrow women's groups of Ladakh will take it forward with a 10 Days fast, then the youth, then the monks from monasteries... then me again n so on. The journey has only started.
But we still hope n trust we won't have to do all this. Sooner rather than later a sense of responsible leadership will arise in @narendramodi ji n @AmitShah ji
