  • To Om Prakash Singh, DGP, Uttar Pradesh Police, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
    To Om Prakash Singh, DGP, Uttar Pradesh Police, Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh Dear Sir, Even as people across the nation mourned Mahatma Gandhi on Wednesday, January 30, 2018, CJP is appalled to note that one group disrespected both Gandhi and his legacy in a callous and violent fashion. Through our newly launched Hate Hatao app, we were alerted to a viral video that shows Hindu Mahasabha national secretary Pooja Shakun Pandey chanting "Mahatma Nathuram Godse amar rahe" (Long live Mahatma Nathuram Godse) before shooting at an effigy of Gandhi, after which fake blood can be seen pooling at the bottom of the effigy. The effigy is then set on fire. The incident took place in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. Godse, who assassinated Gandhi on January 30, 1948, was a member of the Hindu Mahasabha. Pandey "later told reporters that her organisation has started a new tradition by recreating the assassination, and it will now be practised in a manner similar to the immolation of demon king Ravana on Dussehra," NDTV reported, adding that the Hindu Mahasabha "regards the day of Mahatma Gandhi's death as Shaurya Divas (Bravery Day), in honour of Nathuram Godse". The Times of India reported that Pandey told the media that Gandhi was responsible for India’s Partition that led to the birth of Pakistan, and that Godse’s act of killing him was admirable. NDTV noted that in 2015, Hindu Mahasabha leader Swami Pranavananda "had announced plans to install statues of Nathuram Godse across six districts of Karnataka," and had called him " a 'patriot' who had worked with the blessings of Hindu nationalist Vinayak Damodar Savarkar." CJP appreciates the Aligarh Police’s prompt move to register charges against 13 people, including Pandey herself.

  • “Everyone Has Been Silenced”; Police
    EVERYONE HAS BEEN SILENCED Police Excesses Against Anti-CAA Protesters In Uttar Pradesh, And The Post-violence Reprisal Citizens Against Hate Citizens against Hate (CAH) is a Delhi-based collective of individuals and groups committed to a democratic, secular and caring India. It is an open collective, with members drawn from a wide range of backgrounds who are concerned about the growing hold of exclusionary tendencies in society, and the weakening of rule of law and justice institutions. CAH was formed in 2017, in response to the rising trend of hate mobilisation and crimes, specifically the surge in cases of lynching and vigilante violence, to document violations, provide victim support and engage with institutions for improved justice and policy reforms. From 2018, CAH has also been working with those affected by NRC process in Assam, documenting exclusions, building local networks, and providing practical help to victims in making claims to rights. Throughout, we have also worked on other forms of violations – hate speech, sexual violence and state violence, among others in Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Rajasthan, Bihar and beyond. Our approach to addressing the justice challenge facing particularly vulnerable communities is through research, outreach and advocacy; and to provide practical help to survivors in their struggles, also nurturing them to become agents of change. This citizens’ report on police excesses against anti-CAA protesters in Uttar Pradesh is the joint effort of a team of CAH made up of human rights experts, defenders and lawyers. Members of the research, writing and advocacy team included (in alphabetical order) Abhimanyu Suresh, Adeela Firdous, Aiman Khan, Anshu Kapoor, Devika Prasad, Fawaz Shaheen, Ghazala Jamil, Mohammad Ghufran, Guneet Ahuja, Mangla Verma, Misbah Reshi, Nidhi Suresh, Parijata Banerjee, Rehan Khan, Sajjad Hassan, Salim Ansari, Sharib Ali, Sneha Chandna, Talha Rahman and Vipul Kumar.

  • India 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    INDIA 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution provides for freedom of conscience and the right of all individuals to freely profess, practice, and propagate religion; mandates a secular state; requires the state to treat all religions impartially; and prohibits discrimination based on religion. It also states that citizens must practice their faith in a way that does not adversely affect public order, morality, or health. Ten of the 28 states have laws restricting religious conversions. In February, continued protests related to the 2019 Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), which excludes Muslims from expedited naturalization provisions granted to migrants of other faiths, became violent in New Delhi after counterprotestors attacked demonstrators. According to reports, religiously motivated attacks resulted in the deaths of 53 persons, most of whom were Muslim, and two security officials. According to international nongovernmental organization (NGO) Human Rights Watch, “Witnesses accounts and video evidence showed police complicity in the violence.” Muslim academics, human rights activists, former police officers, and journalists alleged anti-Muslim bias in the investigation of the riots by New Delhi police. The investigations were still ongoing at year’s end, with the New Delhi police stating it arrested almost equal numbers of Hindus and Muslims. The government and media initially attributed some of the spread of COVID-19 in the country to a conference held in New Delhi in March by the Islamic Tablighi Jamaat organization after media reported that six of the conference’s attendees tested positive for the virus. The Ministry of Home Affairs initially claimed a majority of the country’s early COVID-19 cases were linked to that event.
