Re: [IAC#RG] Arvind Kejriwal in jail!

I wish someone has the exact order and puts it out.  In Yogendra Yadav's case, there was a personal bond of Rs 5000. In effect, he signed an undertaking to pay, without actually paying it. 

I have faced this twice --in neither case did I have to pay anything. 

But yes, I agree with all those who said that Kejriwal made an idiot out of all journalists / activists who work hard to get facts and documents and do not write until we have them in hand. 

He also created an environment that his foolish allegations against media, community, individual politicians was great heroism, even when it wasn't backed with facts.  The worst example was Sheila Dixit where he brandished a 300 page document in a public meeting as being proof and then, as chief minister, admitted that he had no proof at all. He also hasn't uttered a word about her being elevated at Governor.  This is lies and fraudulent conduct -- not just hypocrisy. 

Finally, don't we expect our activists and politicians to show some grace? Has Kejriwal congratulated his opponent and conceded defeat as yet? Isn't it the done thing even in the most acrimonious political situations? The american presidential loser not only makes a statement putting the past behind but agrees to pledge himself to the cause of the country rather than continue with hostility against a person or party.  

No such thing with our brand new political party??

did not require bond from Kejriwal, were illiterate.. painful to see all this activism..

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
