The Delhi High Court has issued notice to the Delhi Police on a plea filed by NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha challenging the FIR filed against him under provisions of the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).
Among various things, the FIR alleges that the petitioner company, which owns the digital portal, had violated “FDI and other laws of the country and caused a loss to the exchequer”.
Krantikari Kisan Union chief Dr Darshan Pal, who is also coordination committee member of SKM, in an interview with The Indian Express rejects the allegations in the FIR and explains why all farm unions are again coming under one umbrella.
