Delhi Lt Governor VK Saxena has approved the prosecution of author Arundhati Roy under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for her speeches on Kashmir in 2010. The decision follows a 14-year legal battle initiated by complainant Sushil Pandit. An FIR against Roy and former Central University of Kashmir professor Sheikh Showkat Hussain was registered following a court order. The case has sparked a political debate, with BJP questioning the Congress's stance and INDI alliance leaders defending Roy. Major Gaurav Arya (Retd), Kashmiri activist Ramesh Raina, and political analyst Akashdeep Muni have criticized Roy, while the CPM has come to her defense. The BJP also raised concerns about the 'Tukde Tukde gang.' There has been no reaction from Roy yet.
