The Supreme Court of India has issued a warning to Rahul Gandhi over his comments on V.D. Savarkar, emphasizing that it is not the appropriate way to treat freedom fighters. The bench, headed by Justice Dipankar Datta, cautioned Gandhi and hinted at possible suo motu action if he persists in disparaging the legacy of Savarkar. The court also highlighted the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi’s previous accolades for Savarkar. This development comes as the court stayed a lower court’s summons against Gandhi in this matter. It underscores the sensitivity and reverence towards historical figures in Indian politics. Gandhi’s remarks have sparked controversy and drawn attention from the judiciary, urging a more respectful discourse on the contributions of national heroes. The court’s intervention serves as a reminder of the importance of upholding the dignity of freedom fighters in public discourse and maintaining a decorous dialogue on their role in shaping the country’s history.
