Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appeared before the MP/MLA court in Sultanpur, Uttar Pradesh, in a defamation case linked to his alleged remarks about Union Home Minister Amit Shah, asserting that the proceedings were triggered against him out of “political malice.”
A Pune court denied Rahul Gandhi’s request for details about Satyaki Savarkar’s maternal lineage in a defamation case linked to comments he made in London. The judge emphasized that the case focuses on alleged defamatory statements rather than family history, asserting that such information is irrelevant to the main issue at hand.

A defamation complaint against Rahul Gandhi, filed by VD Savarkar’s grandnephew, alleges that Gandhi falsely claimed Savarkar wrote about an incident of violence against a Muslim man. Gandhi, who missed a court hearing on December 2 due to Parliament duties, is ordered to appear next on January 10, facing potential legal consequences.
