Chaibasa: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was summoned by Chaibasa MP MLA court on March 27. He has been issued a notice by the court. The court has asked him to appear physically on March 27. On Saturday, Justice Rishi Kumar of the MP-MLA Court has rejected Rahul Gandhi’s petition seeking relief from the non-bailable warrant.
Notice has been issued to Rahul Gandhi regarding his controversial remarks on Amit Shah. The matter is six years old. This petition was filed by BJP leader Pratap Katihar in 2018. A petition was filed in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chaibasa.
In this, Rahul was accused of making objectionable remarks about Home Minister Amit Shah. Advocate Keshav Prasad said that the court had issued a bailable warrant in April 2022 but he did not come. Then on February 27 this year, a non-bailable warrant was issued.
On this, Rahul, through his lawyer, had requested for exemption from appearance, which has been rejected by the court. After which he was ordered to be physically present. The matter is of the year 2018. During that time, in the Congress session held in Chaibasa, Rahul had said that any murderer in BJP can become the national president.
