In a significant development, the Supreme Court of India has intervened in the defamation case against Rahul Gandhi, putting a pause on the Allahabad High Court’s decision not to dismiss the summons issued to him. The case revolves around Gandhi’s comments about freedom fighter Veer Savarkar, a revered figure in Maharashtra. The apex court has advised Gandhi against making derogatory remarks about national heroes, especially Savarkar, highlighting the historical significance of the matter. Interestingly, the court mentioned a letter written by Gandhi’s grandmother, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, in which she had praised Savarkar. This decision by the Supreme Court is expected to have far-reaching implications on the case and underscores the importance of showing respect towards the contributions of prominent figures in Indian history.
