"Attempts to justify Mahatma's assassination re-doubled"

Civil Rights Activist Teesta Setalvad today charged the Centre of justifying the assassination of Mahatma Gndhi and glorifying his killers.
"Attempts to legitimise the act of killing have re-doubled since May 2014 following the coming to power of new regime in New Delhi, she said while introducing her book "Beyond Doubt - A Dossier on Gandhi's Assassination" at a function organised by Solidarity Youth Movement, at the press club here.
The act was a declaration of war against the secular, democratic Indian state and all those who stood to affirm these principles, she said, adding, the book aims to contextualise the politics, motivations and circumstances behind the assassination.

When asked for her comments on the case of misappropriation of funds against her, Setalvad said "it is a vindictive action" but refused to talk further on the subject as the matter is in the court.
Answering a question on Narendra Modi whether she finds any change after his becoming the Prime Minister from the Chief Minister of Gujarat, she said "time will change".
