INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
The party's comments came after Sitaram Yechury, Yogendra Yadav, Jayati Ghosh, and DU professor Apoorvanand were named
Yechury and others named in the supplementary chargesheet in the Delhi riots case and accused the Delhi Police of bringing the criminal
justice system to ridicule.The Opposition party said the BJP has "stooped to a new low" in its attempt to suppress peaceful dissent against
its policies."Delhi police have brought the criminal justice system to ridicule by naming Mr Sitaram Yechury and many other scholars and
activists in a supplementary charge sheet in the Delhi riots case," Congress leader P Chidambaram tweeted.He questioned how "if an accused
(Gulfisha Fathima) mentions a name in her statement, that person will be named as an accused in the charge sheet"."Has the Delhi Police
forgotten that between the Information and Charge Sheet there are important steps called Investigation and Corroboration," he asked.Other
than Yechury, Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav, economist Jayati Ghosh and Delhi University professor Apoorvanand figure in the
supplementary chargesheet.However, Delhi Police have clarified that they have not filed a chargesheet against them and underscored the
difference between naming someone as an accused and mentioning a name due to allegations.Chidambaram said he was glad that former police
officer Julio Ribeiro has "upbraided" the Delhi Police for its "biased handling" of the Delhi riots case."Will the Delhi police listen to
this iconic police officer," he asked.Congress general secretary KC Venugopal said, "The BJP has reached new lows in its attempt to suppress
peaceful dissent against its policies which have torn the socio-economic-politico fabric of this nation.""The misuse of Delhi police to
choke voices like Sitaram Yechury and others is shameful and highly condemnable," he said.Another Congress leader Jairam Ramesh has said,
"This is worse than atrocious
I am in full solidarity with those chargesheeted
They are greater desh bhakts than the fraudulent ones in power now."Party's chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said, "If speaking truth to
power is a crime, If exposing circle of hate is a crime, If standing up to rioters is a crime, If being righteous - just is a crime, Then,
each one of us must be booked, chargesheeted - jailed
Only then will my Country survive
