Reports of stone pelting and violent sloganeering against farmers by right-wing terrorists at Singhu border.

An hour ago, I was telling a friend how the riot ecosystem of the far-right Hinduvta has been suddenly activated in the outskirts of West UP and Delhi. 1/n

Since these vile influencers are hardly covered because we're more interested in the mainstream BJP leaders, this dangerous ecosystem of riots is hardly noticed.

This is what they did to the anti-CAA protestors in North East Delhi last year. This is how they lynched so many people.

None of it was spontaneous.

Since the past few days, a coordinated campaign calling for violence against Sikhs and farmers is being run by far right social media influencers and channels.

Reporters need to cover these developments very vigilantly and deeply.

Where everything fails, riots and violence by non state actors becomes the excuse to end a people's movement.

This time they will not succeed with violence. Delhi police must put an end to any further escalation. The consequences will be disasterous for all of us.
