Not the time to be neutral, time to pick a side: Journalist Rana Ayyub
New Delhi: Noted Journalist Rana Ayyub on Monday said India was going through a phase wherein people of the country need to pick a side and it was not a time to be neutral.
Taking to her Twitter account she called on the people of the country and said it was time to choose democracy over dictatorship.
“Hello India. This is not the time to be neutral. This is the time to pick a side. This is the time to chose democracy over dictatorship” (SIC) she wrote in the tweet.
Her tweet came on a day when Twitter India withheld several accounts that were reporting and commenting on farmer protest. The micro-blogging site added the accounts were withheld over "legal demand".
Hello India. This is not the time to be neutral. This is the time to pick a side. This is the time to chose democracy over dictatorship.

50 passengers from Karnataka stranded in conflict region arrived in New Delhi: CM office
Bengaluru (PTI): Fifty passengers from the state who were stranded in the Gulf region amid the ongoing West Asia conflict arrived in New Delhi early Friday morning after departing from Fujairah in the UAE, Chief Minister Siddaramaiah's office said.
The protocol team (Karnataka govt) were at the Indira Gandhi International Airport in New Delhi with breakfast, it said.
They were transported on a KSRP (Karnataka State Reserve Police) bus and two cars to domestic terminals for their onward travel to Bengaluru, Mangaluru and Hubballi, the CM office said in a statement.
Many were disgruntled and complained to the team that MEA did nothing, and it was only a local organisation that helped them with their tickets, etc., the statement claimed.
"Incidentally, we are the only state so far that is providing this assistance at the Delhi airport," it added.
