Mr Nalapat talks of the "chilling effect" of Kejriwal's arrest. He would obviously condone the criminal defamation with no evidence by Kejriwal. I might think "prosperous politicians" must be investigated. I cannot go round defaming them and expect no consequences. If you do not like the law, lobby to change it. If you do not like the judgment, go in appeal. Let us not waste sympathy on a confused and publicity-seeking pseudo "common man". SLRao

The issue is that should he have been asked to enter a bond of surety or not. A bond of surety is filed to assure that court that the respondent will appear as and when required. If it was a political speech then it is unprecedented to ask for such a bond. I think they should appeal to the Court of appeal and get the matter clarified. In the mean time, Kejriwal's detention has been extended for another 14 days in a sweltering heat of the Tihar prison. Will this detention fetch him some political mileage which he so badly is seeking? DevinderFrom: Madhav Nalapat <mdnalapat@gmail.com>

It is unfortunate that the (colonial-era) laws are such that an
individual can get sent to jail simply for calling a prosperous
politician corrupt. Whatever one's views on Arvind Kejriwal,his
incarceration will have a chilling effect on freedom of expression.The
Indian media,as is its won't,has chased the "lizard's tail" of Arvind
refusing to post a bail bond,while missing out on the "lizard" viz a
magistrate jailing an individual for what in more robust democracies
passes off as fair comment about political leaders
