Madhya Pradesh Court Grants Bail with Patriotic Conditions

A man accused of anti-India slogans must salute the national flag and chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' as part of his bail terms.

Faizal, accused of shouting 'Pakistan Zindabad' and 'Hindustan Murdabad', was granted bail by the Madhya Pradesh High Court.
The court imposed conditions requiring him to salute the national flag and chant 'Bharat Mata Ki Jai' 21 times at a police station twice a month.
These bail conditions aim to instill a sense of national pride and responsibility in Faizal, according to Justice Dinesh Kumar Paliwal.
Faizal, who has 14 prior criminal cases, was arrested in May after video evidence showed him shouting the controversial slogans.
The prosecution opposed bail, citing Faizal's criminal history and the potential to incite enmity, while the defense claimed false implication.
