SC holds Rahul Gandhi's remarks on Savarkar as ‘irresponsible’, warns him not to make such statements in future

25 Apr 2025 Evaluate

The Supreme Court of India slammed Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi over his controversial comments on Veer Savarkar and asked him, ‘How can you make such irresponsible statements about freedom fighters’.

The case was heard by a bench of Justice Dipankar Datta and Justice Manmohan. The apex court said, ‘Veer Savarkar is a freedom fighter. You are calling them servants of the English. How can you make such irresponsible statements about freedom fighters’. ‘You are going to Maharashtra and giving such statements. Savarkar is worshipped in Maharashtra’. 

SC further said that Mahatma Gandhi had used the term 'your faithful servant' in a letter to his viceroy, and remarked, ‘So according to you, they also became the servants of the English’. The apex court warned Gandhi not to make such statements in future, saying it might take suo motu cognisance if he did so.

At the hearing, the top court stayed Allahabad High Court's order refusing to quash summons to Gandhi in the defamation case. Earlier, Rahul Gandhi had moved the Supreme Court challenging the order of the Allahabad High Court.

The defamation case stems from Gandhi's comments on Savarkar made on November 17, 2022 during his Bharat Jodo Yatra at a rally in Maharashtra's Akola district. Advocate Nripendra Pandey filed a complaint, accusing Gandhi of intentionally insulting Savarkar during the rally. The complainant alleged Gandhi's remarks were part of a well-planned conspiracy to defame Savarkar.
