Press Club of India has strongly condemned the registration of an FIR against journalists of The Caravan under Sections 354 (outraging modesty of a woman) and 153A (promoting communal enmity) of Indian Penal Code at the Bhajanpura police station in Northeast Delhi.

The concerned journalists were reporting on the allegations against the Bhajanpura police officials and on communal tensions in Northeast Delhi in August 2020...While they were on their reporting assignment, they faced a life-threatening communal attack and sexual harassment by a mob in the area...A PCI statement released by its president Gautam Lahiri and general secretary Neeraj Thakur on Saturday said that instead of holding the attackers to account, the Delhi police not only delayed the registration of FIR but also went ahead with initiating an investigation against the journalists.

S S on WA says: the news was that the mysterious death two years ago of a brilliant (Muslim) student (from the North Eastern state of Assam) in the student hostel of a Central Government-run top-notch engineering college, which was being aggressively sold by the college management as a case of suicide, is actually one of brutal murder -- involving gunshot and stab wounds.

While murders -- even brutal ones -- are far from rare in "democracies", the deliberate institutional attempt to suppress the fact of murder is
undoubtedly pretty much jarring.

Infiltrating Australia  https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-06-17/modis-indian-government-accused-of-spying-silencing-critics/103974414  The long arm of the Indian state is reaching Australians and threatening national security. A Four Corners investigation has uncovered the promotion of far-right Hindu ideology, the quiet amassing of political power, and never-before-reported details of a “nest of spies”.

Greens senator David Shoebridge said close ties should be forged, “but it’s bloody foolhardy to do it and not protect yourself when you know there’s an active threat in play”. “We have a very recent case study in Australian history about what happens when all you see is money and trade and a growth economy and you don’t see any of the kind of concerns. We did it with China. It turns out we are repeating many of the same mistakes with India and that’s just setting us up for trouble.”
