Court sets hearing date for Rahul Gandhi's controversial remarks

Rahul Gandhi is set to appear in a Sambhal, Uttar Pradesh court on July 18 over comments he made back in January, where he accused the BJP and RSS of "capturing" national institutions. The case was delayed last time because his lawyer couldn't make it, but now all eyes are on this upcoming hearing.

TL;DR

What the complainant says

The complaint comes from Simran Gupta of the Hindu Shakti Dal, who says Gandhi's words disrespected India's democracy. Previous hearings were postponed due to the absence of Gandhi's lawyer. This session will let both sides share their arguments—and depending on what happens, it could impact not just Gandhi but also Congress's image in UP.
