Supreme Court Extends Stay on Rahul Gandhi Summons
Imagine someone said something mean about a famous person from the past, and now they have to go to court.
Rahul Gandhi said something about Savarkar, and a court in Lucknow told him to come.
But the Supreme Court said, 'Wait a minute,' and gave him more time.
The government thinks Gandhi was trying to cause trouble with his words.
The Supreme Court is looking at it now to see if what Gandhi said was okay or not, and they will decide what happens next.
Supreme Court extended stay on summons to Rahul Gandhi regarding remarks on Savarkar.
The summons was issued by a Lucknow Magistrate court over Gandhi's comments during the 'Bharat Jodo Yatra' in 2022.
The Uttar Pradesh government supports the trial court's decision, alleging Gandhi spread hatred.
The case revolves around Gandhi's remarks calling Savarkar a 'servant of the British'.
The court adjourned the matter for four weeks, allowing the complainant to file a reply.
