Under the colonial law continued by Nehru in India a citizen can be jailed very easily. The powers given to a magistrate are huge and were codified under the British. It is appalling that Kejriwal can be summoned by a court and jailed just for saying a politician was corrupt. To make a citizen run from court to court is so easy in India

I think there is some misunderstanding; he was not jailed simply for calling a prosperous politician corrupt. The defamation case filed by Gadkari is yet to be heard and decided. He was jailed for not attending the court in spite of agreeing to be present.

I agree with Nalapat ji. This is not about Arvind Kejriwal, this is about Indian democracy. There is no reason to jail him for what he said. In defamation against public persons, they can always call a press conference and refute it publicly. That is the US law and I understand the same with Indian law.

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
