The Goa Congress on Monday condemned the arrest of Gujarat independent MLA Jignesh Mevani and said the way he was being treated showed that the country was under an “undeclared emergency”.
Mevani was re-arrested on Monday for assaulting Assam police officials after a court in the northeastern state of Kokrajhar granted him bail in a case related to his tweets against Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The Gujarat MLA was arrested on April 19 from Palanpur city in Gujarat after an FIR was registered against him in Kokrajhar.
