VARANASI: A Varanasi MP-MLA court will take up a review petition filed against Congress leader and Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, on Thursday.

The case pertains to remarks allegedly made by Rahul Gandhi during his visit to the United States in September 2024.

According to the complaint, he had questioned whether Sikhs in India would be permitted to wear turbans and kadas and whether he would be able to visit gurdwaras as a Sikh.

Objecting to the statement, Nageshwar Mishra, a resident of Tilmapur in the Sarnath area and a former village head, filed a complaint in connection with the remarks.
