Assam Congress Spokesperson Arrested Over Social Media Post
In a controversial turn of events, Assam Police apprehended Congress spokesperson Reetam Singh on Saturday. The arrest took place at his residence in North Lakhimpur following a complaint by the wife of BJP MLA Manab Deka. The complaint was related to a post Singh shared on March 13 on social media platform X.
Details of the Post
In his post, Singh included images of individuals convicted in a rape case and raised questions about the impartiality of the law as it pertains to BJP ministers and MLAs accused of similar offenses. This provocative content led to his arrest, with police charging him under BNS section 356(2) and also invoking provisions of the SC/ST Act of 1989.
Singh’s Reaction
Reetam Singh expressed his discontent with the arrest, stating he felt it was an act of contempt of court. He highlighted his position as a lawyer and questioned the need for such “harassment” when he had no intention of evading the law. His posts on social media reflected his bewilderment over the circumstances leading to his arrest.
The Broader Implications
This incident underscores the delicate balance between freedom of expression and legal repercussions in the political landscape. As political tensions rise, the discourse surrounding accountability and justice remains ever-relevant.
