Kerala leader PC George arrested for alleged communal remarks, released on bail later

Senior Kerala politician P C George was arrested after his comments on the Muslim community and was later released on bail by a Magisterial court in Thiruvananthapuram, media reports said.

After his release, George told reporters outside the court that he has said in a speech that he doesn't want the support of the radical groups of any community, who don't love the country and asked how does that make him someone against any religion.

The magistrate released him on bail on conditions that he would not interfere with the investigation, not influence witnesses or make any hate speeches or get involved in any controversies.

He also alleged that his arrest was a Ramzan present by Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan to the radical Muslim groups.

He was arrested from his residence in Erattupetta in Kottayam district and taken by road, in his personal vehicle, to the Thiruvananthapuram AR Camp, where his arrested was formally recorded.

He was arrested on the orders of Kerala police chief Anil Kant on the charges of promoting enmity between different religious groups under section 153A of the IPC.

Addressing a gathering at the ongoing Ananthapuri Hindu Maha Sammelan in Thiruvananthapuram on Friday, George had alleged that tea laced with drops causing impotence was sold in shops run by the Muslim Community in order to turn people infertile and get hold of the country.

George, a former Congress leader, who represented the Poonjar constituency in the state Assembly for 33 years, had also urged non-Muslims to boycott businesses run by Muslims.
