The Haryana home minister, 67-year-old Anil Vij, took to Twitter against the 21-year-old environmental activist Disha Ravi, saying ‘anti-nationals like her should be destroyed from the roots’. Ravi was arrested by the Delhi Police from Bengaluru and later sent to five-day police custody for allegedly editing a ‘toolkit’ shared by Greta Thunberg. The charges include sedition, criminal conspiracy, spreading disaffection against the Indian state, and promoting enmity.
