Allahabad HC rejects plea seeking FIR against Rahul Gandhi over ‘fighting the Indian State’ remark | India News
New Delhi: The Allahabad High Court on Friday rejected a plea for registration of an FIR against the opposition Lok Sabha leader Rahul Gandhi for an allegedly controversial “fight against the Indian state” comment.Justice Vikram D Chauhan gave the order while hearing a plea filed by Simran Gupta, who challenged the earlier decision of the Sambal Court rejecting a request to direct the police to file an FIR against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.The petitioner alleged that while inaugurating the office of the All India Congress Committee in 2025, Rahul said, “We are now fighting against the BJP, RSS and the Indian state.”According to the petition, the comment has hurt public sentiments and amounts to a seditious and anti-national statement intended to destabilize the country.
