Real tukde-tukde gang sitting in Delhi: Guha

December 19, 2019 23:31

The real tukde-tukde gang are the rulers of India sitting in Delhi, said historian Ramachandra Guha.

Speaking to India Today TV, Ramachandra Guha said that the people sitting in Delhi are the "real batwara" people.

"The real tukde-tukde gang are the rulers of India sitting in Delhi. They are real batwara people. They are dividing the country not just on religion but also on language and we will resist them non-violently," Ramachandra Guha said.

Ramachandra Guha was on Thursday detained on Thursday for staging a demonstration against the Citizenship Amendment Act and NRC at the Town Hall in Bengaluru in defiance of the prohibitory orders imposed in Bengaluru.

On being asked about his detention, Ramachandra Guha said he was not violating Section 144 which was in place in Bengaluru.

"I was not violating section 144. There was absolutely no reason to impose Section 144. It was a completely knee-jerk and exaggerated reaction that I suspect came from Delhi. Delhi ordering Bengaluru what to do," Ramachandra Guha said.

He further said Section 144 was a colonial-era law and was used to suppress the non-violent struggle of our freedom movement.
