Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani Gets Bail In Case Over "Negative" Posts On PM | Read

Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani has been granted bail by a court in Assam in a case over tweets on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The court had reserved its order on the bail application yesterday. Mr Mevani was arrested on Thursday from Gujarat's Palanpur by a team of Assam police after a local BJP leader from Assam's Kokrajhar filed a complaint against him. Mr Mevani - an arch critic of PM Modi - has called his arrest "vendetta politics by the PMO (Prime Minister's Office)".
