GADCHIROLI: Wheelchair-bound Delhi University academic G N Saibaba and four others were sentenced to life term by a court here for links to the banned naxalite outfit CPI (Maoists) on Tuesday. He is a think tank and leader of banned political organisation CPI (Maoist) and its frontal organisation RDF. "For that, all accused and members of banned organisations, CPI (Maoist) and its frontal organisation, Revolutionary Democratic Front (RDF), are responsible. He argued against any leniency to Saibaba for his disability, as he used to go abroad to spread Maoist ideology and recruit youths. Hence, all of them deserve, nothing short of life term," Sathianathan said while arguing on the quantum of sentence.
