Legal Action Against Rahul Gandhi for Alleged Violation in Darbhanga

District Administration's Announcement

The district administration of Darbhanga has announced plans to initiate legal proceedings against Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, for allegedly violating provisions of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC), particularly Section 163. This statement was made by the district magistrate to a news agency.

The controversy arose when Rahul Gandhi attempted to address students at the Ambedkar Hostel in Darbhanga.

Permission Denied for Hostel Event

The district administration had not granted permission for the event at the hostel, instead designating the town hall as an alternative venue. Despite this, Gandhi attempted to proceed towards the hostel. Initially, his convoy was halted near the university gate, but after persistent requests from his supporters, the gate was opened. However, he was stopped again at Khanqah Chowk, not far from the Ambedkar Hostel. Refusing to turn back, Gandhi continued on foot and eventually reached the event location, where he addressed the students directly.

Gandhi's Address to Students

During his address, Gandhi stated, "I have come from Delhi to talk to you and hear your concerns. However, the administration has tried every possible means to stop me. They blocked roads and set up barricades, but I found another way. They may have tried to stop me, but they could not succeed because your strength is behind me, and no force in the world can stop that." The Bihar Congress has accused the district administration of deliberately attempting to suppress Rahul Gandhi's outreach by denying permission for the Ambedkar Hostel event, asserting that the purpose was to facilitate peaceful dialogue with students.
