Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra Paused as Rahul Gandhi Summonsed in Defamation Case

Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh announced that the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra will be paused on Tuesday morning as Rahul Gandhi has been issued a summons to appear before the District Civil Court in Sultanpur in connection with a defamation case.

The Yatra, in its 37th day, will resume from Fursatganj in Amethi at 2 pm on February 20th. Rahul Gandhi faces a case over using derogatory remarks against Union Home Minister Amit Shah during a Bengaluru conference in 2018.

The Congress leader could face a maximum punishment of two years if sufficient evidence is found.
