The Supreme Court of India has intervened in the defamation case against Rahul Gandhi, halting the Allahabad High Court’s decision to allow summons to proceed. The case revolves around Gandhi’s remarks concerning freedom fighter Veer Savarkar. In a cautionary tone, the apex court reminded Gandhi of the importance of showing respect towards national heroes, highlighting Savarkar’s revered status in Maharashtra. The court drew attention to historical connections by mentioning a letter written by Gandhi’s grandmother, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, praising Savarkar. This development underscores the significance of maintaining decorum when discussing the contributions of prominent figures in Indian history.
