After two hours, he was arrested.<\/p>\n<p>The Congress, which protested on the tarmac against the action, approached the Supreme Court that granted Mr Khera interim bail. &#8220;There has to be some level of discourse, we are protecting you,&#8221; Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said.<\/p>\n<p>The Assam Chief Minister also drew a comparison and spoke of the FIRs filed against him by the Congress for his controversial &#8220;father-son&#8221; barbs at Rahul Gandhi last year. &#8220;Can you abuse a father? Because I said something about the father of a leader, Congress has filed 130 FIRs against me in Telangana,&#8221; he scoffed.<\/p>\n<p>Doubling down on Mr Khera&#8217;s arrest, the chief minister said, &#8220;whenever an offence is committed, there will be a clampdown.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pawan Khera has been charged for allegedly &#8220;insulting&#8221; Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a recent press conference. The spokesperson fumbled with PM Modi&#8217;s name while demanding a joint parliamentary probe into the Adani-Hindenburg row. &#8220;If Narasimha Rao could form a JPC (Joint Parliamentary Committee), if Atal Bihari Vajpayee could form a JPC, then what problem does Narendra Gautam Das&#8230;sorry Damodardas&#8230;Modi have?&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>The BJP said it was a deliberate insult to the PM.<\/p>\n<p>Assam has emerged as the favoured destination for FIRs linked to anti-BJP criticism. Mr Sarma posted a strong tweet after Mr Khera first made the comments.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Make no mistake- pathetic remarks by courtier Pawan Khera on PM&#8217;s father have blessings of the top levels of Congress, which is full of entitlement and disdain against a person of humble origins being PM.
