Big relief to Rahul Gandhi from Allahabad High Court, petition demanding FIR in ‘Indian State’ statement case rejected

Statements made in politics often remain in discussion for a long time, and sometimes their impact even reaches the court. One such case came to light regarding the statement of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, over which there was a lot of controversy. Now Allahabad High Court has given an important decision in this matter, which has given a new direction to the entire controversy.

Allahabad High Court, while hearing in open court on Friday, rejected the petition in which FIR was demanded to be registered against Rahul Gandhi. This petition was filed by a woman named Simran Gupta. This decision of the court has made it clear that at present no legal action will be taken against Rahul Gandhi in this matter.

How did the whole thing start?

In fact, during the inauguration of the new Congress headquarters ‘Indira Bhawan’ on January 15, 2025, Rahul Gandhi had given a statement. He had said that his fight is with Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, Bharatiya Janata Party and “Indian State”. His statement had heated up the political atmosphere. Many BJP leaders had given a strong reaction calling it anti-national and demanded action against him.

The case reached the High Court from the lower court

Simran Gupta was the first to file a petition against this statement in Chandausi Court of Sambhal district. He had demanded from the court to monitor and register an FIR against Rahul Gandhi. However, Chandausi Court had rejected this petition on 7 November 2025. After this, Simran Gupta challenged this decision in Allahabad High Court. The hearing of this case in the High Court was completed on 8 April. After the hearing, the court had reserved its decision, which has now been made public.

In his speech at the inauguration program of Indira Bhawan, Rahul Gandhi had said that his ideology is very old and he has been opposing the thinking of RSS for a long time. He also said, ‘Don’t think that we are fighting a fair battle. There is no fairness in this.

Further clarifying his statement, he said, ‘If you think that we are fighting with any political organization named BJP or RSS, then you have not understood the situation properly. BJP and RSS have captured every institution of our country. Now we are fighting the Indian State along with BJP and RSS.

After this statement of Rahul Gandhi, the leaders of Bharatiya Janata Party gave a sharp reaction. The party had targeted the Congress leader, calling it a statement against the country. Political rhetoric regarding this issue had also intensified, and debates were seen on it from social media to public forums.
