This will now give green signal to many others to openly speak against Muslim community. Directly.

Election Commission of India Election Commission of India , where are you? Can a political leader blatantly seek votes on religion and spread hate? Shouldn't the speaker be booked for hate speech and violation of MCC?

This is worse, actually a much more brazen hate speech against Muslims compared to the ones given during the anti Muslim carnage of 2002

Traditional disinformation methods continue to be effective and require structural intervention. Without this, the fertile ground for disinformation & other harmful phenomena to flourish remains, with or without AI. Excellent piece by ⌜kalim⌟ euronews.com/next/2024/03/1…

The “washing machine” mechanism by which politicians accused of corruption don’t face legal consequences if they quit their party and join the BJP. Not that this is new — it’s the scale that is unprecedented. A chronology of flip-flops by Deeptiman Tiwary

#ED has been weaponised mainly to threaten and pressurise Opposition Leaders/ MLAs/ MPs to cross over to BJP. #ED never raids any BJP leaders - why?!

Those who resist spend long months in jail without any trial or even framing of charges. Those who join suddenly get ‘clean’?!
