The United Nations has joined the calls for the release of human rights activists in India who are in prison awaiting trial under anti-terrorism laws.
The conservative BJP government denies accusations by rights groups the charges against the left-wing activists are politically motivated.
Many rights groups are asking the government why it has not investigated the alleged role of Hindu nationalists in the violence that Rao and Bharadwaj are in jail for, even though a fact-finding mission found Hindu nationalist leaders were responsible.

  1. Activists my Foot !!! They were arrested after evidence of Documents being found, Which listed methods of Assassination of our Prime Minister Modi, Which even went as far as discussing Types of Guns to be used in the Assassination attempt.

    They are Hardcore Communists, Who were funded by India's Opposition Parties with links to God knows who – Maybe China, Pakistan or even Qatar. Stay out of this, We Indians deal harshly with any threat to our Nation and our Leaders !!!

  2. They are urban naxalites in the name of human rights. They are arbitrary creating a chaos in india by inciting violence in the name of cast creed and religion to benefits vote Bank political ideological parties

  3. Allah is Al Mubeen. He is the Manifest One. It is He who makes clear the truth from falsehood in this life and ultimately in the next. He manifests His signs to His creation. His Book is a clear proof which distinguishes truth from falsehood, guidance from misguidance and right from wrong. Allah says "There has come to you from Allah a light and a clear (mubeen) Book [5:15]. We must follow what Allah made clear for us in His Book. Hold strong to the Quran and Sunnah so that you are never led astray. Call unto Al-Mubeen to always show you and keep you on the truth, His straight path.

  4. All george soros funded.
    Did you know manmohan singh daughter works for george soros . Sonia gandhi and hilary clinton fund each other.

    And do u know the country of al zalzera has no freedom of media, all are state only

  5. This happens. Can't do much about it when there is no clear opposition. Not talkin'about the comment section. I blame this on Congress. They should have reorganised their party and weeded out corruption and appeasement policies. Then they could have become a strong opposition.

  6. They all are terrorist and serviving on foreign funds which uses for anti-national work. Now their funding stopped and sleeper cell got trapped. Their sympathisers like Al Jazeera crying now.
