The BJP launched a scathing attack on Teesta Setalvad after she was detained by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS)
The BJP on Saturday cited the Supreme Court's critical comments against activist Teesta Setalvad to allege the Congress and its chief Sonia Gandhi were the "driving force" behind the activist's campaign against then Chief Minister Narendra Modi over the 2002 Gujarat riots.
The BJP launched a scathing attack on Ms Setalvad after she was detained by the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) from Mumbai and taken to Ahmedabad in connection with a First Information Report, or FIR, filed against her at Ahmedabad city crime branch.
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra told reporters that the Supreme Court named Ms Setalvad while slamming those responsible for keeping the "pot boiling" for their ulterior designs on the riots.
The court said that all those involved in the abuse of process need to be punished, Mr Patra said.
