Today, 14th May, Rahul Gandhi faces a pivotal hearing on May 27 in a 2018 defamation case in Uttar Pradesh. The case stems from his remarks linking the RSS to Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination. A new judge has been appointed for the special court. This legal battle is seen as politically motivated to undermine Gandhi’s influence.
Today (2nd May): The defamation case against Rahul Gandhi for remarks about Amit Shah has been postponed to May 14 due to the unavailability of a judge in the MP-MLA court in Uttar Pradesh.
