MUMBAI – Indian politician Divya Spandana lands in big trouble for praisingPakistan.

She has been charged for sedition after the former Congress party MPpraised the people of Pakistan and lauded their hospitality.

A court in India’s southern Karnataka province adjourned hearing of thesedition case recently filed against the lawmaker for “appreciating thepeople of Pakistan, India’s nuclear rival” as accused by a local lawyer.

The issue surfaced when Divya, commonly known as Ramya, returned to Indiafrom Islamabad and called Pakistan a “good country” after she wasoverwhelmed by the way she was treated.

With her comment, the 36-year-old politician also called out former Indiandefence minister Manohar Paraikar’s who had earlier compared his visit toPakistan the same as “going to hell”.

Ramya’s trial for the sedition case – that dates back to the Britishcolonial era – might end in a fine and prison sentence of up to 14 yearsif charges against her are proven right.
