In the Savarkar defamation case, Rahul Gandhi has moved court seeking contempt action against complainant Satyaki Savarkar, accusing him of “wilful disobedience” of court orders and “suppressing crucial evidence” during the trial process.
Today, On 4th April, The Allahabad High Court rejected Rahul Gandhi’s plea challenging a summoning order in the Savarkar defamation case. A sessions court had issued the summons last December, citing that his remarks on Savarkar promoted hatred and ill-will. The court’s decision means Gandhi must now appear as required in the legal proceedings. This case adds to the ongoing legal challenges faced by the Congress leader.
