#MunawarFaruqui s bail request has been rejected by the MP HC. The police has said there is no evidence that he hurt religious sentiments. On what grounds then has bail been rejected? This is a travesty of justice & a shameful display of vindictive prosecution by the BJP govt! Shama Mohamed (@drshamamohd) January 28, 2021
