'Will move forward fearlessly and continue fight against treasonous forces: PC George

KOTTAYAM: BJP leader PC George has said that he will continue to fight against the anti-national forces that are trying to destroy India. He was responding to the media after being granted bail in the hate speech case. PC George said that he will move forward fearlessly. After being granted bail, PC George has been admitted to a private hospital in Pala for further treatment.

Erattupetta court granted bail to PC George after four days of remand after citing his health problems. PC George's lawyer had argued in the court that the evidence collection in the case was complete and that PC George was cooperating with the police investigation. The prosecution argued that the accused was a repeat offender and that there was a possibility of repeating the same if he was granted bail. PC George was granted bail with a strict condition that he should not repeat any hate speech.

PC George made anti-Muslim remarks during a channel discussion on January 5. The police registered a case based on a complaint by the Youth League Erattupetta Mandal Committee. The Kottayam Sessions Court and later the High Court had rejected PC George's anticipatory bail application. Following his arrest, PC George, who was remanded, was admitted to the Kottayam Medical College Hospital due to ill health.
