Good morning, we need your help!!

Since May 2015, The Wire has been committed to the truth and presenting you with journalism that is fearless, truthful, and independent. Over the years there have been many attempts to throttle our reporting by way of lawsuits, FIRs and other strong arm tactics. It is your support that has kept independent journalism and free press alive in India.

If we raise funds from 2500 readers every month we will be able to pay salaries on time and keep our lights on. What you get is fearless journalism in your corner. It is that simple.

Contributions as little as ₹ 200 a month or ₹ 2500 a year keeps us going. Think of it as a subscription to the truth. We hope you stand with us and support us.

Candidates from two opposition parties in Jammu and Kashmir, Waheed Parra of the People’s Democratic Party and Aga Ruhullah of the Jammu and Kashmir National Conference tell The Wire’s Arfa Khanum Sherwani of the atmosphere of ‘suffocation’ in place since 2019 in Kashmir.

Keywords like ‘intimidation,’ ‘UAPA’ and ‘oppression’ rule public life in the region, leading to a fear psychosis, say the candidates.
