Recall that in 2013, a Jaipur district court granted anticipatory bail to Bhajan Lal Sharma in the 2011 Gopalgarh (Bharatpur) riots case.
The Congress reaction came after a lawyer filed a petition in the district court alleging that Chief Minister Sharma had violated anticipatory bail conditions by traveling abroad without obtaining permission from the court in connection with the trial related to the 2011 Gopalgarh riots case.
Sanwar Mal Chaudhary, the petitioner, also demanded that Sharma be arrested under section 483(3) of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS) for violating norms.
Following the development, Rajasthan Congress chief Govind Singh Dotasra also questioned CM Sharma for traveling abroad despite being out on bail since 2013 in a case registered by the CBI without taking permission from the court.
"By traveling abroad without the permission of the court, the Chief Minister has violated the bail conditions fixed by the court. This is a serious mistake on the part of a person holding a constitutional and responsible position like the Chief Minister," Dotasra said.
The state Congress also shared an order issued by the Additional District Court and Sessions Judge in 2013, highlighting the sections under which Sharma was charged along with the terms and conditions that said he could not travel abroad without the permission of the court.
Congress opposition leader Tika Ram Jully said in a post on Lal Sharma has violated anticipatory bail conditions by traveling to South Korea and Japan without the court's permission.
"If the Chief Minister himself plays with the law, what message will reach the public? The Chief Minister should immediately clarify his stand on this matter so that the truth can come out before the public."
Meanwhile, state BJP leaders told IANS that the Chief Minister's Office (CMO) has been communicated in this regard and a clarification will be issued soon.
