Bengaluru: “I am opposed to death penalty and I think the RS did the right thing by sending the proposal in the case of the juvenile in Delhi rape case to a Select Committee.
Even while fighting the Gujarat riot cases, there was pressure that we should seek the death penalty for the accused,” said social activist Teesta Setalvad, who spoke to Nasheman.in recently on a private visit to Bengaluru.
Setalvad claimed that the current BJP government, is trying to settle score with her and other activists for opposing them.
Setalvad is one of the country’s leading campaigners against communal violence, who has been fighting for ensuring justice for the 2002 Gujarat riot victims.
