ASG: This is not a simple Toolkit, if one were to look at the background, it would be clear that these are persons connected to the Khalistani movement - one is presumed to know this.
#DishaRavi
ASG: Then they tell that in case of any help required they can reach out to the Foundation. So it is not a simple document created by a simple NGO.
ASG: Your Honour, please look at the circumstances. They associate themselves with persons connected to Khalistan. They spread documents, linked to a Toolkit, which create hatred against India.
ASG: Your Honour would need to look at this in that background. It is not merely asking people to come to Delhi.
Court: This is infact what my query is. Is there any evidence, or are we required to merely work on surmises, conjectures?

ASG: Your Honour would appreciate that this needs to be read in the background that people were asked to move to Delhi - for hoisting of the Khalistani flag, etc.
#DishaRavi
ASG: Yes My Lord please look at this.
Court: Please Sir.
ASG: People were asked to come inside Delhi and join the protests, kindly look at this in light of the links, hashtags - which are instigating people.
ASG: Because the Toolkit says do this, do that..
Court: This is exactly what I'm alluding to. What is this do this, do that?
ASG: There is a judgment.
Court: Sorry, but I have a bad habit, unless my conscience is satisfied I don't move ahead.
Court: What is the link between the toolkit and Jan 26 violence?
ASG: In a conspiracy, everyone may not have an equal role. Our point is that through this, those connected to the Khalistani movement were instigated.
