Rahul Gandhi Supports Pawan Khera, Slams Assam Govt Over Supreme Court Move

Rahul Gandhi Backs Pawan Khera

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday asserted that the party firmly stands with Pawan Khera and “will not be intimidated” amid the ongoing legal developments involving him.

The statement comes after the Assam government approached the Supreme Court challenging the transit anticipatory bail granted to Khera.

Legal Row Escalates

The controversy stems from remarks made by Pawan Khera against Himanta Biswa Sarma and his wife, which led to legal action being initiated.

The Assam government has now moved the apex court seeking to challenge the relief granted to the Congress leader.

Congress Shows Strong Support

Rahul Gandhi’s statement signals strong backing from the Congress leadership, indicating that the party is prepared to stand firm despite legal pressure.

“Congress stands with Pawan Khera, we will not be intimidated,” Gandhi said.

Political Tensions Rise

The development has added to the ongoing political tensions between the Congress and the Assam government, with both sides taking firm positions.

Observers say the case could have wider political implications, especially as it moves through higher judicial forums.

Case Heads to Supreme Court

With the matter now before the Supreme Court, further proceedings are expected to determine the course of the legal battle.
