The Supreme Court has reprimanded Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for making derogatory statements for freedom fighter Veer Savarkar. The court has said that if he gives such a statement, he will start action by taking cognizance of him. However, the court has stopped the summons issued from the ACJM court of Lucknow, giving interim relief to Rahul.
Rahul’s argument
A bench of Supreme Court Justice Dipankar Dutta and Justice Manmohan issued a notice to the UP government and complainant Nripendra Mishra asking them to reply on the plea of Rahul. On behalf of Rahul, senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi argued that he is not accused of spreading disharmony in the society. It is wrong to have a case in UP for a statement given in Maharashtra. The complainant is not directly affected by his statement.
Supreme court warning
On this, the court said, ‘You are taking some legal points. Based on them, we are issuing notice, but do you understand that you made the statement in Maharashtra. There people worship Savarkar. You should assure us that such irresponsible statements will not be given in future. On such a statement, we will start hearing by taking cognizance ourselves. On this, Abhishek Manu Singhvi said that he has understood this.
‘Your grandmother has also praised’
Citing a letter written by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi to the Secretary of Veera Savarkar memorial on behalf of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, Justice Dipankar Dutta said, ‘Your grandmother also wrote a letter praising Savarkar. Collect information about the history-geography of freedom fighters.
‘Will Gandhiji also be called a servant?’
The judge said, ‘Mahatma Gandhi also used to write himself’ your loyal servants’ in a letter sent to the British Viceroy. Will anyone call him a servant of the British because of that? Many judges of the High Court also write themselves servants in their correspondence. Does it become a servant by writing like this? ‘ The court warned Rahul that insults of freedom fighters will not be tolerated. Those who brought us freedom should not humiliate them.
This is the case?
Nripendra Pandey, a lawyer from Lucknow, has filed a case against Rahul Gandhi for Section 153 (A) and 505 of the IPC. It has been told that in a press conference in Akola, Maharashtra on 17 December 2022, Rahul called Veer Savarkar a servant and a pensioner of the British. In the press conference, pre -prepared leaflets were also given to journalists. This shows that with the intention of spreading hatred in the society with complete preparation, Rahul gave that controversial statement. The Lucknow bench of Allahabad High Court refused to cancel the summons issued against Rahul on 4 April.
