Pune’s MP/MLA Special Court heard the ongoing defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his alleged remarks about Veer Savarkar. The court said on Wednesday that Rahul cannot comment on any order which he has not challenged in the higher court.
Special Judge Amol S Shinde said that if Rahul Gandhi has any objection to the summoning order then he should challenge it in the higher court.
On behalf of Rahul Gandhi, lawyer Milind Pawar filed an application in the court raising questions on the old order regarding issuing summons. It said that the summons order taken by complainant Satyaki Savarkar in 2023 was obtained hastily without solid evidence and by applying pressure.
Advocate Sangram Kolhatkar, appearing for Satyaki Savarkar, took objection to the allegations and said that the order to issue the summons was given by the former judge of the court after examining all the evidence. He said that the accused party has expressed doubt on the functioning of the court.
It was said in London that Savarkar had beaten a Muslim.
Rahul is accused that in March 2023, Rahul Gandhi, in a speech in London citing VD Savarkar’s book, had claimed that Savarkar and his five to six friends had once beaten up a Muslim man and they were happy with it.
Citing this speech, Satyaki Savarkar has filed a defamation case against Gandhi. He said that no such incident happened nor did Savarkar write anything like this.

Had given controversial statements on Savarkar earlier too
During the Bharat Jodo Yatra on November 17, 2022 in Akola district of Maharashtra, Rahul Gandhi had commented on Savarkar in a rally. Showing a letter in front of the media, he said that this letter was written by Savarkar to the British. In this he had said that he would remain a servant of the British. He also apologized out of fear. Gandhi-Nehru did not do this, so they remained in jail for years.
Rahul had said, ‘Gandhi, Nehru and Patel remained in jail for many years and did not sign any letter. Savarkar ji signed this paper because of fear. If you weren’t afraid you would never have signed. When Savarkar signed, he betrayed India’s Gandhi and Patel. Told them also that Gandhi and Patel should also sign.
The Supreme Court had reprimanded on 26 April
