Hyderabad, Aug 30 (PTI) Dubbing the case against him and other activists over Maharashtra's Koregaon-Bhima violence as false, Leftist poet and writer Varavara Rao insisted today their fight against "fascist policies" cannot be called a conspiracy.

He said the case for Koregaon-Bhima clashes between Dalits and upper caste Marathas should have been filed against the Maharashtra government and the Centre and not activists.

Hyderabad, Aug 6 (PTI) AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi today alleged that attacks on Muslim minorities have increased since the NDA government came to power at the Centre.
