Sofia's arrest

Lois Sofia, a 28 year old student was arrested and sent to jail because she shouted #fascistbjpdowndown onboard a flight in the presence of TN BJP Chief Tamilisai.

Tamilisai, how do you expect her to react after your government gunned down people from her neighborhood when they peacefully protested against a company that consistantly flouted environmental laws.



The BJP government used disproportionate force when ordinary people took to the streets protest against Sterlite. They had acted like a bunch of friendly campus security force during the Ram Rahim fiasco.

When Ram Rahim was arrested on rape charges, his supporters went on a rampage. Public properties were damaged. Lives lost. And, yet Police limited their 'force' to lathi charge and fired bullets in the air. Tuticorin protests were against a company that had a bio leak in the past and is infamous for its disregard for pollution laws. Protesters were fighting for their right to live.

Police killed 13 people with snipers from a distance. Why?  Is it because this is not their vote bank but Ram Rahim's supporters cannot be offended. Anil Agarwal, the owner of Sterlite sponsors Modi's events in London and is one of the primary contributors of BJP.

We know what this proxy government in Tamil Nadu is all about. Sometimes people hit rock bottom and then the only option left is to rise up. They have. They will.
