We are also Indian, we are not Pakistan, we are not chinese. Are you trying to devour us like vegetables. Why are. Deploying arm forces here like this? We are not afraid of guns and bullets. We will save our mountain, we will save our rivers and ancestors land.

Look at the sheer number of armed personnel that have descended upon Pasighat, which saw a night of violence, vandalism, and the looting of the homes of elected representatives from Friday night to Saturday. This followed a Gen Z protest against militarisation and the arrest of villagers protesting against the Siang upper multipurpose project. The flights bringing in Rapid Action Forces stopped just a short while ago. This is state-sponsored violence and provocation.

@TADAK_NALO’s FB page is restricted. It is easy to guess why. He is popular with the youth and raises relevant issues, the most recent being his questioning of the govt regarding Chinese intrusions into Indian territory in Arunachal Pradesh and the crackdown on the indigenous resistance against Siang Upper Multipurpose Project.

Tadak Nalo, the founder and chairman of the Arunachal Frontier Tribal Front (#AFTF), has alleged that his Facebook page, "#TadakNalo for Revolution," was restricted in India. Nalo has recently been raising the issue of the #SiangUpperMultipurposeProject and alleged #Chinese encroachment into Indian state of #Arunachal.
When a news organisation suggests Indian citizens don't have the right to the truth from its govt. About territorial integrity. From a govt thay boasts much on the front.

Watch this. It was a peaceful dharna against Siang Upper Multipurpose Project. Police said that to disperse the Pasighat Gen Z protesters “ mild force” was used. Is this your mild force? @PemaKhanduBJP @NatungMama @DgpPradesh explain this to the people.

Tajong Talom, one of the prominent faces of the Pasighat #GenZmovement against the Siang Upper Multipurpose Project (#SUMP), was reportedly detained by the #AssamPolice in Sivasagar, Assam, last night. Talom stated that he was intercepted while on his way to #Delhi to address a press conference regarding the ongoing mega-dam issue. A family member mentioned that he was subsequently handed over to the #ArunachalPradeshPolice, but they remain unaware of his exact current location.

While media attention is focused on Chinese intrusion in Taksing and Maza circles in Arunachal, locals have appealed for similar attention to the poor road and internet connectivity in the area. #Watch report for details

Otul Jerang is a young schoolteacher. Polite, soft-spoken, he speaks straight from his heart about his people and the Siang River. I first heard him speak during a rally in Pasighat against the Upper Siang Multipurpose Project—a project that will affect his own village. He is currently in police custody after the GenZ protest took a violent turn in Pasighat. Please do listen to him explain why he chose to surrender to the police.

EC orders a re-poll at 4 booths in Agra for MLC polls after 'booth capturing'. But the SP has also alleged that booth capturing took place in 14 places in 4 districts--Amroha, Agra, Fatehpur, Prapatgarh. In Amroha, 7 booths recorded voting % 92.02-96.3, inc fraudulent votes

It’s rare to find people like Ebo Mili in Arunachal Pradesh. Absolutely resolute and committed to ensuring that indigenous communities are heard, and that the Indian state cannot bully them, @Ebo_Mili_Linggi is one of a kind. While elected representatives have compromised their positions in the name of national security, Ebo has stood firmly with the state's indigenous people. As the state began militarising the Siang Valley without the people's consent, Ebo has been in Siang Valley. Ebo is currently in the custody of the Arunachal police along with Otul Jerang, following a Gen Z protest in Pasighat that turned violent after police used force to disperse the crowd on Friday evening. Please do listen to his reasons for surrendering to the police.

Arunachal Is Burning
The 11,200 MW Siang mega dam threatens to displace 1 lakh indigenous people & submerge 27 villages.
Once campaigning for smaller projects, BJP now pushes this destructive dam. In the name of national security, whose land, lives & identity must be sacrificed?

#Violence is reported to have broken out in #Pasighat after police fired tear gas at youths protesting against the #SiangUpperMultipurposeProject. Police vehicles were also #damaged during the clashes. In one of the widely circulated videos, tear gas was suddenly fired at #protesters while they were speaking.

State will have to take responsibility for the violence that has escalated in Pasighat. You can’t expect people to keep quiet in the face of state oppression for years in the name of national security. Shah, Modi, and Khandu, this is a response to your provocation and your sponsored violence on people who are opposed to Siang Upper hydro project. NHPC office

#ArunachalPradesh is looking very worrisome right now..
And all the TV channels ( we don't call then news channels anymore) have decided that #Arunachal doesn't exist.
