Supreme Court Rebukes Rahul Gandhi: A Political Tug-of-War

The Supreme Court has issued a strong rebuke to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his contentious remarks about the Indian Army. The court's decision has sparked a fresh political battle, with the BJP accusing Gandhi of undermining national integrity by aligning with China.

Congress, however, defended Gandhi, asserting that the government has avoided addressing concerns about the 2020 Galwan incident. The party alleged that the Modi administration's lack of transparency reflects a broader pattern of evasion, dubbed the 'DDLJ' policy: deny, distract, lie, and justify.

Despite the Supreme Court staying proceedings against Gandhi, it called for greater responsibility in public remarks. The political skirmish underscores ongoing tensions over India's foreign policy and domestic political landscape.
