Varun Gandhi walks out of Etah jail
16 Apr 2009, 2043 hrs IST, PTI
ETAH/NEW DELHI: After remaining behind bars for 20 days, Varun Gandhi was released from the Etah jail in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday evening hours
after the Supreme Court granted the young BJP leader, detained under the stringent NSA, a two-week parole on the condition he will not make any more inflammatory speeches.
The reprieve for the 29-year-old estranged member of the Nehru-Gandhi family in the form of temporary bail was given by the apex court to enable him to campaign for Lok Sabha polls after he was directed to give an undertaking he would not indulge in any conduct likely to disturb communal harmony.
Varun is the Lok Sabha candidate from Pilibhit in UP which goes to polls in the final phase on May 13 and April 24 is the last date for filing nominations.
Dressed in a maroon kurta, a sober and restrained Varun briskly walked out of the Etah prison at 6.25 PM and got into a waiting black sports utility vehicle where his mother and BJP MP Maneka Gandhi anxiously waited for him. He did not speak to waiting newsmen but greeted his supporters with folded hands and also waved at them.
Hundreds of supporters, who had assembled outside the jail since afternoon after Varun's release became imminent, raised slogans in his support.
Shortly before he was released, a tough talking Uttar Pradesh chief minister Mayawati warned in Lucknow that even more stringent action would be taken against him if he violates his undertaking not to make inflammatory speeches.
