Let Us Do A Fact Check!

During the Delhi riots case last year, the nation had to see a huge uprising where the minorities fled helter-skelter from the majority classes. It was indeed very sad to see how the politicians were taking advantage of the situation to lock up the voices of dissent, and moreover, did nothing to curb the violence. According to most of the news sources, there is no particular evidence against the three students and they have been arrested simply on the basis of suspicion. The same had been seen when the draconian UAPA laws had been used against the activists like Umar Khalid and Dr. Kafil Khan.

This was just a month ago.
