 We, Law abiding Mumbaikars urge the CM, who has been broadcasting his resolve to use bulldozer to ‘punish’ people he accuses of rioting and who is pushing through a draconian law to ‘punish those he brands ‘Urban Naxals’ in Maharashtra, to act promptly and punish members of his ally’s party who are acting as urban terrorists, destroying private property and terrorising and intimidating honestly law abiding citizens.

We the Citizens of India also urge the Police Commissioner to promptly take action against these Urban Terrorists of the ruling alliance in Maharashtra who have taken the law in their own hands and are indulging in terrorising citizens and vandalising private property, we would like to remind the Police that they have taken an oath to serve the constitution and protect citizens, not to obey and serve the Government in power.

To Save Democracy: A Broader, Stronger, Secular Alliance Need of the Hour 
Ram Puniyani | 20 Mar 2025

“Noting that almost all components of democracy were getting worse in more countries than they were getting better, the report singled out freedom of expression, clean elections, and freedom of association/civil society as the three worst affected components in autocratising countries.”

https://countercurrents.org/2025/03/no-fascist-state-yet-a-rebuttal-to-the-dangerous-complacency-of-prabhat-patnaik/ while “neoliberal capitalism generates a “fascist presence” – manifesting in right-wing authoritarian movements, xenophobia, ultra nationalism, and eroded democratic norms – it does not necessarily recreate the conditions for full-fledged “fascist states” like in the 1930s.”

We, in India, are witnessing many traits of fascism, like the ‘golden past’, aspiration for Akhand Bharat, targeting minorities and presenting them as “enemies of the nation”, authoritarianism, promoting big business, stifling the freedom of expression and dominating the social thinking.
