There's never a right time to say it, so I'm just gonna say it: I'm sorry for #VivekTiwari's life being cut short, but her wife, Kalpana's statement doesn't sit right with me. The way she says 'with so much trust _we_ brought BJP govt and how _we cheerlead_ Yogi becoming CM' +
+ And then she indignantly questions govt that inspite of this 'why are *we* treated like *this*'? (emphasis on we and this). The unsaid subtext is, these crimes are supposed to happen to Muslims, Dalits or other minorities/usually oppressed. Not Us!
+ You enthusiastically vote in a goon, a history-sheeter who is proud of the multiple charges against him for violent crimes and oppression against minorities, Muslims in particular. Then one day by intent or freak chance you end up being treated the same ("hamare sath aisa?")+
+ at the hands and thugs of same admin and mindset that you so jubilantly voted in? I'm sorry it's just karma. I hope people of UP and Indians at large realise this fire of hate & violence that they've unleashed on Muslims & Dalits gonna engulf em all. Your silence is killing us+
+ Once Yogi and BJP's Chief Jodi of Morning Walk affairs are done with Muslims & Dalits, it'll be Christians. Then it'll be turn of meat-eating, jeans-wearing Hindus. This never stops at one community, one religion. There'll always be other groups to hate and kill. The fire rises

Before posting this thread, I was second-guessing myself if what I was about to say would be pile-on & hurt a grieving family. Was it bad timing by me? But apparently not. They truly think it's ok for Muslims in Kashmir to be murdered in cold blood, not us
