The Supreme Court has granted anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera in a defamation case, emphasizing the law's supremacy over power. The decision highlights the court's role as a protector of personal liberty amidst political rivalries. Congress leaders hail this as a victory for constitutional values under threat from the current regime.

The Supreme Court's decision to grant anticipatory bail to Congress leader Pawan Khera in a defamation case has been lauded by the party as a testament to the rule of law. The court's ruling underscores that personal liberty remains paramount, despite political rivalries.

Congress senior spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi emphasized that when personal liberty is threatened, courts are our ultimate hope. He criticized Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma's remarks against Khera and urged reconsideration, as such language does not befit a constitutional position.

Jairam Ramesh, Congress general secretary, hailed the verdict as a triumph for constitutional values, alleging frequent assaults under the BJP regime. Singhvi stressed that arrest should be the last resort in defamation cases, emphasizing the importance of preserving political dissent and free speech.
