New Delhi: Dwarka court in Delhi granted interim bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera in view of the order passed by the Supreme Court. The court granted him interim bail on furnishing a bond of Rs 30,000, news agency ANI reported.
In his first remarks after getting bail, Khera said he was arrested in an illegal manner. “Without furnishing a copy of FIR and notice, I was deboarded from the aircraft and arrested by Assam Police in an illegal manner. I have complete trust in the judicial system which protected my freedom of expression today,” Khera said.
“Our struggle is to protect this nation, protect constitutional values – my leader Rahul Gandhi is carrying on his struggle fearlessly, I will strengthen his effort,” he added.
Asked about his next step for the Congress’s 85th plenary session in Raipur, Khera said he was going there now.
