Court rejects plea seeking FIR against Rahul for 'fighting Indian state' remark

The Allahabad High Court has dismissed a petition that sought the registration of an FIR against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in connection with a controversial remark allegedly made during the inauguration of the All India Congress Committee office in 2025.

The petitioner had alleged that Gandhi, during the inauguration of the All India Congress Committee office in 2025, stated that "we are now fighting the BJP, the RSS, and the Indian State itself."  The petitioner said the remark hurt public sentiments and amounted to a seditious and anti-national statement allegedly intended to destabilise the country.
