Rahul Gandhi Ordered to Court in Savarkar Case

Delhi University's vice-chancellor has decided to exclude Allama Iqbal from its curriculum, focusing instead on teachings from Gandhi, Ambedkar, and Savarkar, citing a need for national unity. In Pune, a defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has been postponed to October 4, as he has yet to receive a court summons related to remarks he made about Vinayak Savarkar during a meeting in London. Satyaki Savarkar, the complainant and Savarkar's grandson, alleges that Gandhi misrepresented Savarkar's writings, prompting the legal action. The court had previously found prima facie evidence against Gandhi, which could lead to serious legal repercussions if he fails to comply with the summons. The ongoing case adds to Gandhi's mounting legal challenges stemming from various statements he has made in the past. The situation highlights the contentious nature of debates surrounding historical figures in India and the implications for political discourse.
