The Supreme Court has sharply questioned the bona fides of Teesta Setalvad in the Gujarat Riots case. The court has also observed that those who unlawfully instigated cases against the then chief minister need to be brought to book.
Consistent with the court's observations, Teesta Setalvad has been taken into custody. It is surprising that the U.N. Special Rapporteur on Human Rights Defenders has called for her release and an end to "persecution by the Indian state." Can compliance with a court directive be called as persecution by the state? Does the UN want anarchy in India?
