Allahabad High Court Rejects FIR Petition Against Rahul Gandhi Over Sikh Remarks
The Allahabad High Court dismissed a petition seeking an FIR against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on the security and rights of Sikhs during his 2024 US visit. The court ruled that as an elected representative, Gandhi has the right to raise concerns about minority communities, and such speech is protected under Article 19 of the Constitution. The court noted that questioning minority rights does not constitute an offence and emphasized parliamentary debate as the appropriate forum for scrutiny.
