VARANASI, Jan. 22 -- A court of the special judge (MP/MLA) has issued a notice to Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, directing him to appear and present his side in a case related to remarks he allegedly made about the Sikh community during his visit to the United States. Special judge (MP/MLA court) Yajuvendra Vikram Singh ordered the issuance of the notice on January 7 while hearing a revision petition. The court has fixed January 29 as the next date of hearing. The revision plea relates to a statement allegedly made by Rahul Gandhi during his US visit in September 2024. The plea challenges an order passed on October 17, 2025, by the court of additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJM-IV), MP/MLA court, Neeraj Kumar Tripathi, which had dismissed a plea seeking registration of an FIR against Gandhi over the remarks.

The plea was initially rejected in November 2024. Subsequently, Mishra filed a revision petition before the district and sessions court, which directed the lower court to rehear the matter....
