In challenging Modi, Indian activists risk a legal backlash Empty In challenging Modi, Indian activists risk a legal backlash

For years, Ms. Setalvad and Mr. Anand have been using the resolve of Mr. Jafri’s widow to pursue charges against Mr. Modi. They accuse him of facilitating violence against Muslims, a grave accusation that Indian courts have dismissed as unsupported by evidence.

Now it is not Mr. Modi but the activists themselves who face the possibility of prison. They could be arrested as soon as this week on charges of misappropriating money donated to help survivors of the Gujarat riots.
In a hearing last week, Gujarat’s High Court cleared the way for the couple’s arrest. The Supreme Court delayed their arrest until at least Thursday.

This week, about 200 academics, writers and activists issued a statement in the couple’s defense that contained an implicit rebuke for Mr. Modi: “We see this as a clear case of the politics of vendetta launched with explicit intent to whitewash and efface from public memory the misdeeds of those who today wield political power in the state and center.”

Garbage!

It was Titsa and Javed who were harassing Modi with the backing of CONartists. Now that CONmen are not in a position to promote her, she is in trouble.

CONmen are disgusting - there were some 200 fake encounter cases in UP, 100 in YSR's AP, 88 in CON-Maharashtra and 12 in Modi's Gujrat. CONartists and their cronies don't want to do anything in these Sikular states but harass Modi. Disgusting!

I was wrong on the figures.

there were some 800 fake encounter cases in UP, 100 in YSR's AP, 88 in CON-Maharashtra, 55 in Delhi and 12 in Modi's Gujrat (in 2002 - 2013)
