Varanasi court rejects the application filed seeking registration of an FIR against Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi over his remarks on Sikhs during his recent US trip.’
Rahul Gandhi gave a speech in Washington DC on September 10, where he had said, “The fight is about if a Sikh is allowed to wear a turban in India, or whether a Sikh is allowed to wear a kara in India, or if a Sikh is going to be able to go to Gurdwara. That’s what the fight is about. And this is for all religions.”
