PRASHANT CONDEMNS ATTACK ON NDTV OFFICE IN AHMEDABAD

 
The attack this morning, on the NDTV Office in Ahmedabad by a group of right-wing Hindu extremists, needs to be strongly condemned in no uncertain terms.
 
The Constitution of India guarantees freedom of speech and expression to all its citizens.  No one therefore has the right to take law and order into their own hands. 
 
We call upon the authorities in Gujarat to book those responsible for this attack immediately and to ensure that these fascist and terrorist forces are contained.
