PERSECUTION AND PROSECUTION OF SOCIAL ACTIVIST TEESTA SETALVAD !
Beyond any doubt,attempts are in full swing to hound and bedevil well known social activist Teesta Setalvad with one point mission :to consign the 2002 Gujarat carnage to the dustbin of history .I appreciate and admire perseverance and endurance of Teesta and Zakia Jafari,who despite all odds have been doing everything possible constitutionally to fix accountability for Gujarat carnage.In fact,Zakia's legal fight since more than one decade against most powerful polity ,has not been merely to pinpoint responsibility for her husbands brutal murder alone but for the larger issue of mass massacre of innocent men,women and children.And Teesta has committed the crime of supporting and assisting 5000 surviving witnesses and one way or other being instrumental for 120 convictions to life imprisonment including infamous Maya Kodnani.So she is to be punished for pursuit of justice.She is today being victimized by powerful state through CBI ,which is always there to serve the interests of all those who are at the helm of affairs.Quite logically,Indira Jaising well known legal luminary has commented on the whole episode,"the courts of this country are on trail,not Teesta."
