New Delhi : When intellectuals become terrorists, they become more dangerous than those working on the ground, the Delhi police told the Supreme Court on Thursday. Additional Solicitor General SV Raju, appearing for the Delhi police, told a bench of Justices Aravind Kumar and N V Anjaria that the delay in trial was attributable to the accused and they cannot take advantage of it.
Pointing out that Imam is an engineering graduate, the advocate said, Nowadays there is a trend that doctors, engineers are not doing their professions but engaging in anti-national activities. Raju added, “It’s not a simple protest. These are violent protests. They are talking about blockades. At this juncture, Justice Kumar asked if the speeches were part of the chargesheet, to which Raju replied in the affirmative.
The ultimate intention is regime change. CAA protests were a red-herring, the real purpose was regime change, create economic deprivation and create chaos across the country. Khalid, Imam, Gulfisha Fatima, Meeran Haider, and Rehman were booked under the UAPA, the stringent anti-terror law, and provisions of the erstwhile IPC for allegedly being the “masterminds” of the 2020 riots, which left 53 people dead and over 700 injured.
