In yet another legal trouble for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Chief Judicial Magistrate Court of Muzaffarpur will today (June 6) hear a complaint against Gandhi over his remarks against the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) during his speech in London. Notably, Rahul Gandhi's speech in the UK had created massive chaos in India and even hit part two of the Bidget session this year with BJP demanding an apology. This complaint was filed by Acharya Chandrakishore Parashar, a resident of Sikandarpur, President of Bihar Civil Society.

In his complaint, he alleged that Rahul Gandhi had attended a program organised by the Indian Overseas Congress in London where he compared the RSS to the Muslim Brotherhood, a banned leftist organization in Egypt. Acharya Parashar said that he is also an RSS Swayamsevak and he was hurt by Rahul Gandhi's statement.

As per media reports, Parashar has requested the court to run a sedition case against Rahul Gandhi. On the previous date, the court had ordered Acharya Chandrakishore Parashar to produce concrete evidence in support of his complaint.

Rahul Gandhi had slammed the RSS during his speech in the United Kingdom where he said that the RSS was destroying the country by spreading hatred. He said that it is capturing the democratic institutions and running them.

The BJP had slammed Gandhi for his 'anti-India' comments and statement against Prime Minister Narendra Modi while speaking at an event in London, UK. The proceedings of both Houses witnessed continuous disruption for over a week as BJP kept demanding the former Congres President's apology over the issue.

However, Rahul Gandhi had said that he did not speak against India. He delivered a lecture at his alma mater Cambridge University and spoke at UK Parliament, which triggered controversy back in India. The BJP has accused Rahul of insulting India's democracy on foreign land.

During his week-long trip to the UK, Gandhi alleged that the structures of Indian democracy were under attack and there was a "full-scale assault" on the country's institutions. The former Congress MP president also told a group of British MPs in London that microphones are often "turned off" in Lok Sabha when an opposition member raises important issues.

"Our microphones are not out of order, they are functioning, but you still can't switch them on. That's happened to me a number of times while I am speaking," Gandhi had said.
