PAWAN KHERA

The Assam Police detained Congress politician Pawan Khera on Thursday in connection with a FIR over alleged statements made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi

On Friday, Himanta Biswa Sarma, the chief minister of Assam, asserted that Congressman Pawan Khera had “tendered an unqualified apology” for his allegedly offensive comments on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Sarma continued, “Assam Police will pursue the case to its logical conclusion.”

The supremacy of law shall never be challenged. The accused has offered a sincere apology (Para. 7). We sincerely hope that going forward, no one will engage in political dialogue while using foul language. Sarma shared a copy of the writ petition Pawan Khera filed in the Supreme Court on Twitter, stating that “@assampolice will pursue the matter to its logical conclusion.”

The Assam Police detained Khera on Thursday in connection with a FIR over alleged statements made against Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His deplaning from a flight to Raipur and the subsequent protests by his party officials on the tarmac started the day’s high drama.

A Delhi court released Pawan Khera on temporary bail until February 28 later that evening on the Supreme Court’s instructions after he made headlines last week for allegedly forgetting the name of the prime minister’s father during a news conference.In numerous FIRs filed against him in Assam, as well as in the Uttar Pradesh towns of Varanasi and Lucknow, he had petitioned the top court for redress.

We have shielded you (Pawan Khera), but there has to be some degree of conversation, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said to senior attorney A M Singhvi who was defending Pawan Khera after pronouncing the order granting interim bail. Chandrachud seemed upset by the remarks made by the Congress leader.

“His (Pawan Khera) remarks were delivered during a news conference. He has stated things that I cannot discuss in court but that I personally would not have uttered “In the supreme court, Singhvi, who is also Pawan Khera’s party associate, spoke.Jairam Ramesh, the general secretary of the Congress, hailed the Supreme Court for helping Pawan Khera in Raipur.

He had petitioned the Supreme Court to request relief from several FIRs that had been filed against him in Assam and the Uttar Pradesh city of Varanasi.He stated that the Supreme Court’s decision to award temporary bail demonstrated that, “despite all of the Modi government’s efforts, the judiciary still remains a light for our democracy. “Tiger is still alive, Supreme Court is still alive,” the saying goes in Hindi.

Pawan Khera had made “derogatory statements” against a democratically elected prime minister, the Assam Police testified in court.His attorney contended that because he had expressed regret for his comments towards the prime minister, no detention was necessary.

At the Haflong police station in Assam, a case against Pawan Khera was filed under several IPC sections, including 153 B (imputations, claims harmful to national interest), 500 (penalty for defamation), and 504 (punishment for slander) (intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace).

In his criticism of the government over the dispute surrounding the Gautam Adani-led business empire, Pawan Khera had referred to the prime minister as “Narendra Gautamdas Modi.”The middle name Damodardas, which is typical in many parts of the nation, stands in for his father’s name in Modi’s complete name, Narendra Damodardas Modi.

The BJP’s leaders strongly condemned the apparent error and charged Pawan Khera of mocking the prime minister and his late father.
