Rahul Gandhi gets relief from Varanasi MP-MLA court in Sikhs statement case

Varanasi, Oct 17 (UNI) Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, has received significant relief from the Varanasi MP-MLA Court in a case related to his statement about Sikhs during his visit to the United States.
Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (IV) (MP-MLA Court) Neeraj Kumar Tripathi today dismissed the pending petition in the case after hearing the arguments. Senior advocates Anuj Yadav, Naresh Yadav, and Sandeep Yadav represented Gandhi in the court.
The case stemmed from a statement Gandhi made in the United States in September last year, questioning the environment in India and whether a Sikh would be allowed to wear a turban, a kada, or visit a gurdwara.
