Govt conspired against us: Rao on arrests of 5 activists
Varavara Rao, one of the activists who was arrested in connection with Bhima-Koregaon violence and alleged Maoist links, said the government has conspired against them. He added, "We've been booked...because...we mooted a platform to raise voice against fascist rule in the country." He further said the SC ruling to keep activists under house arrest is "a slap on government's face".
