Business Aajkal, VARANASI, 12 May 2025: A complaint was filed in a court here on Monday against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his alleged remarks at a US university, in which he purportedly described Lord Ram as a mythological and fictional figure. The complainant has demanded the lodging of an FIR under relevant penal provisions.
The All India Congress Committee (AICC) has been named as a party in the case. The court has scheduled a hearing for May 19.
Advocate Harishankar Pandey, who filed the complaint, claimed that Gandhi made these controversial remarks during a speech at Brown University in Boston on April 21. Pandey described the comments as "hate speech" that hurt the sentiments of "Sanatanis."
