Local court in UP summons Rahul Gandhi over 'remarks' against Savarkar

New Indian Express  

LUCKNOW: On Friday, a local court issued a summons to the Congress MP from Rae Bareli and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, directing him to appear for trial on January 10, 2025. The court determined that there is a prima facie case against him under Sections 153 and 505 of the Indian Penal Code Alok Verma passed the order on the criminal complaint filed by local lawyer Nripendra Pandey. In the complaint, it has been said that in a press conference held on November 17, 2022, during his Bharat Jodo Yatra in Akola, Maharashtra, Rahul Gandhi had made serious remarks against Savarkar amounting to spreading communal unrest. The complainant, Nripendra Pandey, alleged that Gandhi called Savarkar "a servant of the British who received a pension from them," distributing pre-print pamphlets to media personnel to tarnish Savarkar's image deliberately. Passing the summoning order, the court observed, "the material presented demonstrates that Gandhi’s remarks, broadcast nationwide via TV and social media, were intended to spread hatred and enmity, undermining the nation's unity”.
