Binayak Sen wants apology from Chhattisgarh govt

July 06, 2011 12:53

Activist Dr Binayak Sen, who was accused by the Chhattisgarh government of being a Maoist rebel and convicted last year by a trial court in the state for sedition and his wife, Ilina Sen, told the Wall Street Journal that they felt vindicated by a Supreme Court order yesterday.

Dr Sen called for an apology from the state government to the people of the state. He said he felt that the criticism he had made of the way the Chhattisgarh government was trying to battle the Maoist insurgency, for which he feels he was victimized, has been borne out by the Supreme Court's ruling.
