Social activist Teesta Setalvad has said the country had rarely seen accountability of the State as far as targeted violence is concerned and added that survivors and citizens supporting them are among the "fallout" of such violence.
Delivering the Girish Patel Smarnanjali Lecture in Ahmedabad, on October 2, Ms. Setalvad said the story of targeted violence begins with the build-up that is created with hate speeches and hate writings. “The survivors of such violence have to face difficulties in ensuring punishment for the perpetrators,” she added.
