  • AIDWA statement on Repression by the Modi Government
    17 Feb 2021

    The All India Democratic Women’s Association (AIDWA) has strongly condemned the repressive measures by the Modi government to stifle voices of dissent in our country.

Most of those arrested have been arbitrarily picked up by the police without even informing their families. No one, including lawyers were allowed to meet some of the imprisoned activists.
