On Friday, the Allahabad High Court dismissed a plea challenging a Sambhal court's decision not to register a First Information Report (FIR) against Rahul Gandhi (Leader of Opposition in India's Lok Sabha) for his remarks made during the inauguration of the All India Congress Committee (AICC) office in 2025. The controversial statement, where he said, 'We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS, and the Indian State itself,' was claimed by the petitioner, Simran Gupta, to be seditious and anti-national. However, Justice Vikram D Chauhan ruled that the Sambhal court had correctly found no substantial evidence indicating that Gandhi's remarks threatened the sovereignty or integrity of India. The court noted that the petitioner's claims were based on suspicion and lacked supporting material. Section 152 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) pertains to acts that threaten India's sovereignty, unity, and integrity.
