SC Issues Notice To Rahul Gandhi For Rafale Case Comments

On the 16th of April, the Supreme Court issued a notice to Rahul Gandhi, the President of the Indian National Congress (INC,) for the remarks he made about Prime Minister Narendra Modi with regard to the Rafale deal case.

When Rahul Gandhi was in Amethi, Uttar Pradesh, he said, “I want to thank the Supreme Court. The entire country is saying that Chowkidar chor hai (Chowkidar has committed theft.) It is a day of celebration that the Supreme Court has talked about justice.”

This led to a petition being filed against Gandhi by Meenakshi Lekhi, a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament. In her petition, Lekhi asked the SC to take action against the contemptuous comments made by Rahul Gandhi about PM Modi. While filing her petition, Meenakshi also said, Rahul Gandhi made certain comments on behalf of the Supreme Court, which weren’t in fact, made by the Top Court.

“He is representing his personal statements as a Supreme court order and is trying to create a prejudicial image in the minds of the public,” said Meenakshi Lekhi while filing her petition.

“We make it clear the statement attributed to this court in the address made by the respondent (Rahul Gandhi) to the media and public has been incorrectly attributed to this court. We make it clear this court never made such observation. We only decided on the admissibility of documents,” a three judge bench of the SC, led by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi, said while issuing the notice.

With prompt swiftness, the BJP accused Rahul Gandhi of putting words into people’s mouths and sued him for contempt.

The SC gave Rahul Gandhi a week’s time to give a response to the SC, explaining his statement. The matter will be taken up by the SC on the 23rd of April.

Stay tuned for more updates.
