The Supreme Court today granted leave on the matter of the Allahabad HC order rejecting Arvind Kejriwal plea in alleged inflammatory speech during the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. During the 2014 elections, Kejriwal is accused of violating the Model Code of Conduct for his alleged remarks:"Those who vote for the Congress, I would believe, will be betraying the country... The one who votes for the BJP, even God will not forgive him, he will be betraying the country." The Allahabad HC in 2015 refused a stay on the criminal proceedings of the trial court stating: "The politicians are required to observe more caution in their speeches as they have to rule the country and they should promote the spirit of common brotherhood, fraternity and harmony amongst all the people of India transcending religious, linguistic and regional or sectional diversities." Thank you for follwing along. Stay tuned DH for updates from all over India and around the world!
