It was conspiracy planned at PMO: Jignesh Mevani on his arrest

"I will fight against BJP and the RSS all my life," Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani said. He questioned that the Narendra Modi government did not arrest Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi. The government did not investigate Vijay Maliya but arrested Jignesh Mevani for a tweet.

Barpeta (Assam): A Sessions Court in Barpeta granted bail in an assault case to Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani on Friday. Meanwhile, Mevani interacted with the media and enacted Pushpa's symbolic step showing ''Jhookega Nahi'' and stated that he will not change his style even after the series of events. The court heard Jignesh Mevani's bail plea on Thursday but reserved its verdict. On Friday, Justice Aparesh Chakraborty granted bail to Jignesh Mevani on a personal bond of Rs 1,000.

Talking further, Jignesh Mevani said that he continues to have faith in the Indian judiciary and he was confident that we would get bail. "The BJP and Prime Minister Modi hatched a plan and ensured my arrest for a tweet and kept me in jail in Assam, what message do they want to give? This was a conspiracy planned at the PM's office. I will fight against BJP and the RSS all my life," Gujarat MLA Jignesh Mevani said.

He said that the Narendra Modi government did not arrest Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi. The government did not investigate Vijay Maliya but arrested Jignesh Mevani for a tweet.

Mevani said that he is remorseful to even question why will he misbehave with a simple female government official. "The whole nation knows that BJP wanted to break me down but nothing happened. My spirit is still intact. I have fought against BJP and RSS throughout my life and will continue to do so," he added.

He said that his tweet should have been commended. "I urged PM Modi to appeal for the harmony and peace in the state during his visit. They should have appreciated my tweet but PM Modi got irked as he is a follower of Godse," added Mevani.

Slamming BJP, he added, "They have filed cases against youth leaders including Chandrashekhar Azad, Hardik Patel, Kanhaiya Kumar, Akhil Gogoi but none of them have stopped raising voice against the BJP government."

Mevani also said, "Assam Police has targeted an MLA from Gujarat but they must have received some instructions." He further questioned who gave instructions to the police.
