SC Raps Rahul for Remarks on Army
Financial Express Kochi
|August 05, 2025
THE SUPREME COURT on Monday censured Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his alleged remarks against the Army in the wake of the 2020 Galwan clash with the Chinese, saying, "If you are a true Indian, you would not say all these things."
The court, however, granted a three-week stay on proceedings in a criminal defamation case against Gandhi over the alleged remarks made during his Bharat Jodo Yatra.
The top court was hearing Gandhi's appeal challenging the Allahabad High Court judgment refusing to stay the proceedings initiated in a Lucknow trial court against him over his alleged remarks on Indian Army personnel.
According to the complainant, Uday Shankar Srivastava, the former director of the Border Roads Organisation, the comments made on December 16, 2022, during Gandhi's Bharat Jodo Yatra, defamed the Army.
