An MP-MLA court has directed today Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to appear on July 2 for a defamation case involving alleged objectionable remarks against Union Home Minister Amit Shah. The case, initiated by BJP leader Vijay Mishra in 2018, stems from remarks made during Gandhi’s “Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra” in Amethi. Gandhi had been granted bail earlier in the case.

Rahul Gandhi’s 2018 defamation case filed by BJP’s Vijay Mishra over remarks against Amit Shah is set for a court hearing on June 7 in Sultanpur, UP. The case was momentarily delayed due to Gandhi’s campaign commitments. Mishra’s lawyer expressed concern about Gandhi’s compliance while a warrant was issued against him last December.
The Allahabad High Court criticized the Uttar Pradesh Police for indiscriminately filing chargesheets, emphasizing the need for thorough investigation and adherence to due process. The court highlighted concerns about police practices, calling for accountability and integrity in dispensing justice. It noted the necessity for judicial involvement to uphold principles and protect rights.
