Indian Social Forum’s Central Committee, Dammam has issued a press release condemning police atrocities and brutality at educational campuses over the last few days where the police has used force to stop protesters of CAA and NRC.
Condemning the use of force in Jamia Milia, Aligarh University and Darul Uloom, the forum added that the central government was compromising with secular principles of the country. It also added the central government using colonial laws such as NRC and CAA is discriminating between majority and minority communities.
“The forum condemns police atrocities at education campus such as Jamia Milia, Aligarh University & Darul-Uloom. Central government has passed colonial laws against its own citizens, legislation which are passed by the current government are against the basics principles of secularism which is the foundation of our great nation. By getting Citizenship Amendment Act union government is discriminating between the majority and minority communities in India, which is also the agenda of ruling party. The role of Delhi Police which is under Central government has also raised several doubts” the press release stated.

Here by Indian Social forum support the peace full protests which are against the people of India.

Pakistan reports two more polio cases; Total tally now 52
ISLAMABAD: At least two more cases of poliovirus were reported in Pakistan, taking the number of infections to 52 so far this year, a report said on Friday.
“The Regional Reference Laboratory for Polio Eradication at the National Institute of Health has confirmed the detection of two more wild poliovirus type 1 (WPV1) cases in Pakistan," an official statement said.
The fresh infections — a boy and a girl — were reported from the Dera Ismail Khan district of Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa province.
“Genetic sequencing of the samples collected from the children is underway," the statement read. Dera Ismail Khan, one of the seven polio-endemic districts of southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, has reported five polio cases so far this year.
Of the 52 cases in the country this year, 24 are from Balochistan, 13 from Sindh, 13 from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and one each from Punjab and Islamabad.
There is no cure for polio. Only multiple doses of the oral polio vaccine and completion of the routine vaccination schedule for all children under the age of five can keep them protected.
