In a recent development, Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi made a heartfelt appeal to Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma, urging him to reconsider his remarks following a Supreme Court ruling that granted anticipatory bail to Pawan Khera, a Congress leader facing allegations related to comments about Sarma's wife. Singhvi emphasized that the Supreme Court's decision underscores the principle that arrest should be a last resort, not a first response. He criticized Sarma's language, which was deemed inappropriate and damaging to democracy, suggesting that expressing regret could enhance Sarma's image. In response, Sarma dismissed Singhvi's comments, asserting that he does not require lessons on democracy and accused Singhvi of evading a fair debate. He warned that this controversy is just beginning. Meanwhile, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh praised the Supreme Court ruling as a victory for constitutional safeguards, reinforcing the notion that the protectors of the Constitution are still active. The Supreme Court's bench noted that the case appeared politically motivated, allowing Khera's bail while imposing conditions for cooperation with the investigation.
