Rahul Gandhi Appears In Sultanpur Court Over Defamation Case Against Amit Shah

Описание: Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, appeared before the MP-MLA court in Sultanpur on 20 February 2026 to record his statement in a long-standing defamation case. The case, filed by BJP leader Vijay Mishra, pertains to allegedly objectionable remarks made by Gandhi against Union Home Minister Amit Shah during a 2018 press conference in Karnataka. The court had previously granted Gandhi a final opportunity to appear in person following his absence on several earlier dates, including 19 January. Local Congress supporters gathered outside the court premises, raising slogans and erecting posters in a show of solidarity, while heavy police security was deployed to prevent any incidents. Congress leaders present at the site claimed the case was a politically motivated attempt to intimidate the opposition leader. The court proceedings involve recording Gandhi's formal statement regarding the allegations as the legal process continues in the Sultanpur district.
