Court Set to Review Robert Vadra's Case Regarding Pahalgam Statements the Following Day
Friday in Lucknow: The Allahabad High Court is set to examine a petition against Robert Vadra, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra's hubby, regarding his comments on the tragic Pahalgam terror attack.
This petition, brought before the Lucknow bench of the court by the Hindu Front for Justice and companions, was previously scheduled for a hearing before Justices Rajan Roy and Om Prakash Shukla on Wednesday. However, the hearing was postponed.
The petition seeks the Center to establish a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to investigate Mr. Vadra's remarks and to take legal action against him under various provisions of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The gruesome attack in Pahalgam on April 22 left 26 individuals, mostly tourists, dead and many wounded. Mr. Vadra, the son-in-law of Congress Parliamentary Party chief Sonia Gandhi and brother-in-law of party MP Rahul Gandhi, stirred up controversy with his remarks hinting that non-Muslims were targeted due to terrorists' perception of Muslims allegedly facing mistreatment in the country.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) is currently investigating the Pahalgam attack case.
