The Supreme Court on Friday reprimanded Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on Vinayak Damodar Savarkar made during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Maharashtra in November 2022. The Congress leader had approached the apex court seeking to quash the summons issued by a trial court pertaining to the controversy. Gandhi had earlier filed a petition at the Allahabad High Court seeking relief on legal grounds.
While staying the session court바카라s order, the top court maintained his comments as 바카라irresponsible바카라. A bench including Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Manmohan asserted that he must refrain from making 바카라derogatory바카라 comments against freedom fighters. The bench further mentioned that Savarkar is worshipped in Maharashtra and Gandhi should not make comments about those who are revered in certain parts of the country.
During the Yatra, the Congress leader had allegedly remarked that Savarkar was a 바카라servant of the British바카라 who also received pension during the time.
The bench said that, 바카라We will not allow anyone to make statements against our freedom fighters. Next someone will say Mahatma Gandhi was a servant to the British.바카라 The court also asked Gandhi바카라s advocate whether his client knew that even Mahatma Gandhi also signed as 'your faithful servant' while addressing the viceroy. They also mentioned that Rahul Gandhi바카라s grandmother Indira Gandhi had also praised the very man he was criticising.
Rahul Gandhi was not present at the hearing as he is on a visit to Anantnag meeting the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack.
