'Fighting Indian State' Remark | Allahabad HC Rejects Plea Against Sambhal Court Order Refusing FIR Against LoP Rahul Gandhi

The Allahabad High Court today DISMISSED a petition challenging a Sambhal Court's order which rejected an application seeking the registration of an FIR against the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, over his alleged controversial remarks.

A bench of Justice Vikram D Chauhan pronounced the order in open court today. A detailed order is awaited.

The petition, filed by Simran Gupta of the Hindu Shakti Dal, contended that Gandhi's remarks have hurt public sentiments across the country. The controversy pertains to the statement allegedly made during the inauguration of the AICC office in 2025, where he reportedly stated: "We are now fighting the BJP, the RSS, and the Indian State itself."

Last year, a Sambhal Court initially rejected the petition seeking registration of an FIR. A subsequent revision plea filed against the said order was also dismissed. Therefore, the applicant had moved to the High Court.
