Academics, Lawyers Among 600 To Slam Raids Against Activist Harsh Mander https://www.ndtv.com/india-news/academics-lawyers-among-600-to-slam-raids-against-activist-harsh-mander-2543513 
The signatories include historian Rajmohan Gandhi, advocates Prashant Bhushan and Indira Jaising, activist Medha Patkar and economist Jean Dreze. The Statement says: Mr Mander and the Centre for Equity Studies he heads has been "subjected to continued harassment by multiple state agencies" over the past year.

"All these vindictive efforts combined, have showed neither diversion of money nor any violation of the law. The current raids by the ED and IT department are to be viewed in this context, as part of a continuing chain of abuse of state institutions to threaten, intimidate and try to silence every critic of the present government,".

 

'New India' and the Story of Judas: An Open Letter to Harsh Mander https://thewire.in/rights/harsh-mander-enforcement-directorate-raid-2 
This new India doesn’t like people who are associated with the homeless, with the disabled, with the poor, with the diseased and the deprived. Look at all those incarcerated or labelled seditious by the regime – my friends Umar Khalid, Anand Teltumbde, Gautam Navlakha and the likes. They all have a common thread through their souls – they are the voice of the voiceless and dared to stand up for the rights of the underprivileged. They were kissed by the have-nots and hence identified by the regime and its strangulating arms.
