Disha Ravi and Nikita Jacob are accused of collaborating with pro-Khalistani elements to spread disaffection against India by creating and spreading the toolkit that lists ways to lend support to ongoing farmers protest
Climate activist Disha Ravi’s arrest and non-bailable warrants against two others in the Greta Thunberg toolkit case have created a furor across the nation. The three activists have been accused of collaborating with a pro-Khalistani group to create a toolkit to ‘defame India across the globe on the issue of three agri laws’.
The toolkit, first shared by Swedish teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg on February 4, has been claimed as the proof of the Khalistani conspiracy against India by many critics.
Leaders across political parties have criticised the government over the arrest of 21-year-old climate activist Disha Ravi in the toolkit case. While the Opposition accused the Centre of "murdering democracy", the BJP defended the police action and said that age has nothing to do with the crime.
Accusing the government of "murdering democracy" by using force against a 21-year-old, the opposition on Monday said the voice of India cannot be silenced even as the BJP defended the action, saying a crime is a crime no matter at what age.
