Firing on TN protestors was state-sponsored terrorism: Rahul
After 11 people were killed in police firing during protests against Vedanta's Sterlite Copper unit in Tamil Nadu's Tuticorin, Congress President Rahul Gandhi termed the police action as "state-sponsored terrorism". Thousands of protestors had gathered to protest against the expansion of the plant, alleging that it polluted ground water. Police have imposed Section 144 in the area.
