"Any government that would charge a 22-year-old climate and animal rights activist with sedition on the basis of a Google Doc cannot be readily described as a democracy."

What?! A SC bench headed by the CJI on Monday took objection to a law student,who was appearing as a party-in-person, when he addressed the judges 'Your Honour'!
High time that this business of addressing judges as Lords be done away with. 'Sir', is enough https://www.livelaw.in/amp/top-stories/sc-takes-objection-to-petitioner-addressing-judges-your-honour-170259?__twitter_impression=true

Outright and offensive lies and disinformation are at the center of the right wing authoritarian political project in this country today. They have to create an alternate world because they can't win debates or elections in the real one.
The UP government cannot be trusted. Move the survivor to AIIMS. #Unnao
RT @BhimArmyChief@twitter.com
To ensure justice in Unnao case we demand
1. Post mortem of 2 deceased should be conducted at AIIMS, Delhi with a panel of Doctors including from SC/ST community.
2. Post mortem should be videographed to avoid any discrepancies
3. Survivor should immediately be shifted to AIIMS.
