To be clear, the only reason I was able to reach Heidi was because young Palestinians provided cover with rocks against machine-gun- and tear-gas-wielding settlers and soldiers. It’s those kids, not the settler terrorists, who the IDF was hunting after the attack.
This is @infinite_jaz rushing to help Heidi under fire from Israeli settlers slings

Expose by @varthabharati: In a call recording, a Vartha Bharathi reporter speaks with a couple who filed Form 7 objections seeking bulk Muslim voter deletions. The husband and wife, both BJP workers from Madikeri Assembly constituency says, they received printed Form 7s from the party office and that 50 objections were filed from their booth alone. Kannada to English Translation: Reporter : Hello, this is Manoj from Varta Bharti head office. BJP worker 1 : Yes. Journalist: How many form 7s have you applied madam. BJP worker 1: What is it about Sir? Journalist: You had submitted Form 7 to delete other person's vote. Against how many people have you applied in your booth. BJP worker 1: I have submitted against 10 people Journalist: Was it because they were not staying in the village? BJP worker 1: Yes. Hmm.. No. BJP worker 2: We had a doubt, That's why we applied. We thought, They might have two voter ids. Journalist: But, in the form, you mentioned 'absent', and after mentioning that in the form 7, Now you say we had doubt that they might have been registered elsewhere? BJP worker 2: We actually had doubt if they had two votes, That's why we went to BLO and applied form 7 for our clarification. Journalist: Ok. But the form 7 you submitted, The names were not handwritten, But it was printed right. Where did you get that printed form 7? BJP worker 2: This was given to us by our party. From Somwarpete office. Journalist: So in total for how many people have you both applied for deletion? BJP worker 2: She applied against 10 people and I applied against 10 people. Journalist: Okay. In total, how many people have applied in that particular booth? BJP worker 2: In this booth, Against 50 people. BJP worker 2: Is there any problem Sir? Journalist: No no...

59,354 Delhi voters have been served SIR "logical discrepancy" notices with the reason column left BLANK. No mismatch named, no error cited, nothing. How is anyone supposed to contest a notice when they aren't told what they're accused of? What document do they bring? What do they argue at the hearing? And these blanks are not random: → 96.4% of them are men, mostly older → Muslims are ~12% of Delhi's population but 18.6% of those flagged without a reason → Every district is affected, with North East Delhi hit hardest One name on the list stands out: a Manish Sisodia, 53, from the New Delhi assembly constituency. Is it the former Deputy CM or a namesake? We can't say for sure. But if the system can't even tell a voter why they've been flagged, nobody is safe from this. Software that decides who gets to keep their vote cannot be a black box. ECINET's specifications must be made public, and it must face an open, public audit, not an internal review behind closed doors. Tracking this takes a lot of resources. It means pulling and checking lakhs of records, staying vigilant through every phase of the SIR, and a dedicated team doing the work. If you want this work to continue, support us through the link in the next post. 👇 #DataForBetterLives

On 25 September, several jhuggis located in Delhi’s Yamuna Khadar, also known as Chilla Khadar, was demolished by the Delhi Development Authority (DDA). Located just a few metres away from Mayur Vihar Phase I, the area had close to 100 jhuggis. Many of them were destroyed, rendering several families homeless. Many residents have complained that their names were also left off from the SIR list while some had their names registered from the same place as their homes demolished. Maktoob was on the ground speaking to people on the ground. youtu.be/tVaFQ5Hl-gI?si=zgaz…

For the second consecutive night, Muslims in Ujjain have gathered inside and outside the historic Shahi Masjid to prevent its partial demolition, as bulldozers remain stationed outside the mosque for the demolition action. Speaking to Maktoob, advocate Zaid Pathan of the Association for Protection of Civil Rights said, “The Numainda Committee, along with its lawyer, is already in the process of approaching the Supreme Court to challenge the High Court’s order.”

BLOs are overworked. They will not be able to visit all the people being served notices, especially in informal settlements. As we have seen during enumeration forms collection and distribution. Marginalized voters will pay the price.
The crowded SIR notice centres were perhaps bad optics, now BLOs asked to personally visit homes to collect documents from those served notices under SIR for “unmapping” and “logical discrepancies”. Most BLOs are school-teachers, waise padhai wadhai to hoti rahegi.
