Citizens march in protest
 
A large number of journalists, intellectuals, retired Army and police officers, lawyers and civil liberties activists marched from Mandi House to Faridkot House in New Delhi on Friday to protest against the violation of Sadhvi Pragya's human rights and dignity by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad, as mentioned in her sworn affidavit. Retired Punjab super-cop KPS Gill joined the marchers at Faridkot House. A delegation led by him submitted a memorandum to the National Human Rights Commission, seeking an immediate inquiry into the issues raised by Sadhvi Pragya, including her illegal detention, physical torture and mental abuse, and denial of permission to contact her lawyer. Justice GP Mathur, member of the NHRC who met the delegation in the absence of the chairman, said the commission would look into the issues raised in Sadhvi Pragya's affidavit.

I wonder why no schools are closed in her support ? It is because hindus control no schools or the schools run by RSS have no sense of how to use this tool for propaganda.

I say, learn somethings from crooks if you hope to defeat them.
