Rahul Gandhi set to face another defamation case over his remarks on RSS
Haridwar: Former MP and Congress leader, Rahul Gandhi, will be facing another defamation case over his comments against the Rastriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) during his Bharat Jodo Yatra in January. The case was registered by advocate Arun Bhadauria on behalf of an RSS worker, Kamal Bhadauria, at a court in Haridwar, Uttarakhand.
The matter is set to be heard on April 12.
During a street-corner meeting in Ambala, Haryana, on January 9, 2023, Gandhi referred to RSS members as the "21st-century Kauravas." He further added that the “21st-century kauravas” wear khaki half-pants, carry lathis, hold shakhas, and are supported by 2-3 Indian billionaires.
Earlier in March Gandhi was sentenced to two years in jail in a separate defamation case for his remarks about "all thieves having the Modi surname." The Surat court convicted him under Section 504 of the Indian Penal Code for intentional insult with the intent to provoke a breach of peace. As a result of the conviction, Gandhi was disqualified as a Lok Sabha MP.

Tirupati laddu row: Samples of Ayodhya Ram temple 'prasad' sent for testing
Ayodhya, Sep 27: The Food Safety and Drug Administration Department on Friday collected samples of 'elaichi daana' or cardamom seeds being distributed as 'prasad' at the Ram Janmabhoomi temple here and sent them for testing, officials said.
The action was taken following a complaint lodged through the Integrated Grievance Redressal System (IGRS), Assistant Food Commissioner Manik Chand Singh said.
Singh said the samples were procured from Haiderganj, where the cardamom seed offerings are prepared and sent to the Jhansi State Laboratory for comprehensive testing and evaluation.
Prakash Gupta, the officer in charge of the Ram Temple trust, revealed that on average, around 80,000 packets of cardamom seeds are distributed daily as a sacred offering.
Amid a row over the alleged presence of animal fat in laddus at the Tirupati Temple in Andhra Pradesh, the chief priest of the Ram temple here on Thursday questioned the purity of ghee being sold nationwide and said 'prasad' should be prepared under the supervision of temple priests only.
