On 21 January, the apex court granted interim relief to Pratapgarhi, who was accused of promoting communal disharmony by posting the video.A Jamnagar resident had filed a complaint against the Congress MP, alleging that the poem was “provocative, detrimental to national integrity, and hurt religious sentiments.”Pratapgarhi initially approached the Gujarat High Court seeking to quash the FIR, arguing that the poem “spreads a message of love.” However, the High Court refused to quash the case, stating that “there was a need for further investigation” and that the MP had “not cooperated with the investigation process.”Following this, Pratapgarhi moved the Supreme Court for relief.The FIR, registered on 3 January by the Jamnagar police, booked Pratapgarhi under charges of promoting enmity between different groups based on religion, race, statements prejudicial to national integration, and abetting an offence involving a group of more than ten people. Pratapgarhi has vehemently denied these allegations.
