Supreme Court reprimands Rahul Gandhi for making objectionable remarks on Swatantryaveer Savarkar

New Delhi – The Supreme Court on Friday stayed summons issued to Congress party leader and Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case accusing him of making derogatory remarks against Hindutva ideologue VD Savarkar during his Bharat Jodo Yatra in Maharashtra last year.

A Bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Manmohan however gave a stern warning to Gandhi, represented by senior advocate A.M. Singhvi and advocate Prasanna S., to not indulge in making such “statements against our freedom fighters who gave us freedom”.

🚫 Stop the reckless remarks on our freedom fighters!

Justice Datta said next time he made such remarks, the top court would directly take suo motu cognisance and there would be no question of sanction before initiating proceedings against him. “This is not the way to treat our freedom fighters. They have given us freedom,” Justice Datta said. The judge asked what prompted Gandhi to make these statements in Maharashtra where Savarkar was “worshipped as God”.

Editorial Perspective

In this case, Rahul Gandhi should be punished with rigourous punishment by putting shackles on his hands and feet and asked to pull the pole. Only then his head will think right !
