🚨Teesta Setalvad’s bail plea in Supreme Court —-
Setalvad has been accused of manipulating evidence to frame innocent people in the riots that engulfed Gujarat post the Godhra Carnage in 2002.
Yesterday, Gujarat Government had pointed out that there was an attempt to put Setalvad in the “special category” & that she had already elected to choose her remedy before High Court — to bypass this would set a wrong precedent.
A bench led by Justice UU Lalit will hear the plea of Teesta Setalvad. Read Gujarat Government's stand here. They are opposing her bail plea: lawbeat.in/amp/top-storie…

spectator if followers of Indian religions are being converted to foreign religion by force, allurement.

conflicting to the principles of secularism and rule of law.
