A day after the arrest of Disha Ravi, and non-bailable warrants issued in opposition to Nikita Jacob and Shantanu over ‘toolkit’ matter, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi on Monday attacked the federal government and stated India will not be “silenced”. Rahul Gandhi quoted a Hindi couplet in his tweet and stated: “India won’t be silenced”.
Congress chief Shashi Tharoor on Sunday too had reacted sharply to the arrest of Disha Ravi, the 21-year-old activist from Bengaluru, for her alleged involvement in sharing the ‘toolkit’ associated to the farmers’ protests.
Disha Ravi is likely one of the founders of the ‘Friday for Future’ marketing campaign and allegedly edited the ‘toolkit’ and forwarded it on social media. She was picked up from her home in Soladevanahalli space of Bengaluru on Saturday.

The Delhi Police had registered an FIR on February 4 on fees of sedition, prison conspiracy, and selling hatred amongst teams underneath Sections 124-A, 120-A, and 153-A of the Indian Penal Code in opposition to the “creators” of the ‘toolkit’, which was later shared by world local weather activist Greta Thunberg.
The police have described Disha Ravi as a key conspirator within the doc’s formulation and dissemination and stated that she had began a WhatsApp group and collaborated to draft the doc.
