Roger Waters was at an event in London when he recited Aamir Aziz’s work.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a young poet involved in fight against Modi and his fascist, racist citizenship law.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\nKillers, we will become ghosts
\nand write off your killings,
\nwith all the evidence.
\nYou write jokes in courts,
\nwe will write justice on the walls.
\nWe will speak so loudly that
\neven the deaf will hear.
\nWe will write so clearly that
\neven the blind will read.
\nYou write injustice on the earth,
\nWe will write revolution in the sky.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\nAt a time when U2 went ahead and toured in India despite the ongoing siege in Kashmir and an ongoing communications blackout, Pink Floyd’s stance is laudable.<\/p>\n

\nNo wonder Prime Minister Imran Khan pointed out how it’s vital to ‘stand up on the right side of history<\/em>‘.<\/p>\n
