Hyderabad: The CPI today condemned the arrest of noted social activist Teesta Setalwad by Gujarat police. National secretary of the party Dr K. Narayana said he felt that the apex court of the country had made comments against Setalwad by crossing its limits. He said Teesta carried out a 22-year long fight in the sensational Gujarat riots case that took place 20 years ago.
He made it clear that the entire world was completely aware of the people, who were responsible for the Gujarat riots and mocked that even the blind people would tell about those who resorted to the riots.
In a video statement released by him to the media, Narayana said he was opposing the comments made by the SC that Teesta made baseless allegations against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and faulted the comments of the apex court attributing bad intentions to Teesta. He said the police arrested Teesta a day after the comments made by the Supreme Court. He urged the SC to review its judgment delivered in the case.
