Now wait for a flurry of articles on how courts have been compromised, democracy is being throttled, minorities are oppressed....leading the charge will be Wire, then Scroll and their foreign cousins WaPo & NYT. And more Faiz and Rahat Indori quotes.
#ShaheenBagh
- On a serious note, #ShaheenBagh was the 'democratic' version of chakka-jam which Sharjeel Imam was advocating, especially in strategically sensitive zones like Siliguri corridor.
- #ShaheenBagh was a pretty clever and well thought out strategy.
- With women and children as +
+ supposedly the face of this 'protest', any government action to forcibly evict them would've been a massive PR disaster.
- But on the other hand, if you allowed it to be replicated across the country, you'll have serious undermining of state & central authority.
- Like +
+ east Delhi, the cover of these 'protests' can be used to trigger riots and strife.
- In short, perfect recipe for fomenting trouble on a mass scale.
- Silver lining of #ShaheenBagh is that the longer it stretched, the more aware common public became about their intransigence+
+ and the underlying Islamist agenda.
- Both the protestors and their handlers stand thoroughly discredited.
- Their experiment with creating communal riots in NE Delhi will actually land many of them in jail for quite some time.
