Rahul Gandhi Fined INR 200: Lucknow Court Penalises Congress Leader for Absence, Orders Appearance on April 14 in Savarkar Remark Case

A local court in Lucknow has imposed an INR 200 fine on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for repeatedly failing to appear in a defamation case. The court has now directed him to be present on April 14. The case stems from a complaint filed by Nripendra Pandey, who alleged that Rahul Gandhi made derogatory remarks about Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, calling him "a servant of the British" and "a pension receiver." The matter remains under judicial proceedings, with the court emphasizing the need for Gandhi’s presence in the next hearing. Congress Leader and Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi To Visit Gujarat on March 7-8 To Discuss Preparations for Next Assembly Elections.
