A court in Tamil Nadu has handed the leader of a pro-Tamil political organisation bail, after he was arrested over a speech on social media where he praised the Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) and called for a separate state of Tamil Nadu to be established.
The Public Prosecutor argued that G Thirumurgan, who heads the Thamizhar Katchi, made a direct threat to the integrity, security and sovereignty of the country, at the Ramanathapuram District Court earlier this month.
Thirumurgan contends that he was exercising his freedom of expression that was guaranteed under the Indian Constitution.
