CONGRESS Vice President Rahul Gandhi was granted bail by a court in Mumbai’s Bhiwandi on Wednesday in a defamation case filed by a Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) functionary Rajesh Kunte for holding the organisation’s members responsible for Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination in a speech in 2014.
On March 6, 2014, Rahul Gandhi made a speech in Bhiwandi holding the organisation responsible for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi. He had said, “RSS people killed Gandhiji and today their people (BJP) talk of him…They opposed Sardar Patel and Gandhiji.
The case will be heard next on January 30, which is incidentally the date when Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated in 1948.
