The leader of the opposition in the Lok Sabha is set to face the hearing on his controversial remarks in court. A local court on Monday set 26 September as the date to hear the case over his "fighting the Indian state itself" remark.

As reported by news agency PTI, Additional District Judge (ADJ-II), Aarti Faujdar, has set a new date for records from a subordinate court that were not available.

Senior lawyer Sagir Saifi, who is representing Rahul Gandhi, told the media that the court deferred the matter for want of records from the subordinate court in the case.
