SC raps Rahul over China jibe
The Statesman Siliguri
|August 05, 2025
The Supreme Court on Monday pulled up Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his controversial remarks suggesting that China had occupied 2,000 square kilometers of Indian territory following a 2022 border clash in the Yangtse region of Arunachal Pradesh, with the bench questioning the credibility of such claims.
The Court's remarks appeared to reflect concern that such statements, made without substantiation, could erode public confidence in the armed forces' role in safeguarding the country's borders.
A bench of Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Augustine George Masih stayed proceedings before a Lucknow trial court in the defamation case filed against Gandhi and issued notice to the complainant, former Border Roads Organisation (BRO) Director Uday Shankar Srivastava.
