Honorable Minister of Home Affairs, Mr. Amit Shah, you’ve claimed time and again that ‘strong governance’ is necessary to protect India’s security. But when sedition charges are used to target journalists, activists, and students, not terrorists, what exactly are you trying to secure? In 2020, over 100 sedition cases were filed, and communal violence surged by 40% according to the national crime records bureau. How does the minister stand here preaching strengthening India's democracy, when you have been consistently turning our democracy into a tool for repression?

Honorable Minister of home affairs, According to the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) India was designated as a ‘Country of Particular Concern’ for the sixth year running, The USCIRF also recommended sanctions against India’s external intelligence agency for its alleged role in transnational repression. The Indian government continued to dismiss these concerns as ‘biased and politically motivated’, and ‘unfounded and baseless’. How do you justify this fact ?
