In the affidavit submitted to the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Rahul Gandhi: Expressed regret over his statement
The case goes back to the 2018 Madhya Pradesh Assembly election campaign. During a rally in Jhabua, Rahul Gandhi said that Shivraj Singh Chouhan and his son, Kartikeya Singh Chouhan, were linked to the Panama Papers leak. Kartikeya denied the allegation and filed a criminal defamation case against Rahul Gandhi.
In the affidavit submitted to the Madhya Pradesh High Court, Rahul Gandhi:
*Expressed regret over his statement.
Said that his remarks were made due to a mistaken understanding of the facts.
*Clarified that Kartikeya Singh Chouhan had no connection with the Panama Papers case.
*Requested that the court close the matter.
After the affidavit was filed, Kartikeya Singh Chouhan stated that he did not want to continue the case, and the High Court closed both the proceedings before it and the related criminal defamation case pending in the lower court.
This development effectively ends an eight-year-old defamation dispute arising from the 2018 election remarks.

The Madras High Court ruled that teaching or promoting the Bhagavad Gita, Vedanta, and Yoga does not constitute “religious activity” under Indian law, and therefore cannot be used as a ground to deny or cancel foreign funding under the FCRA (Foreign Contribution Regulation Act).
What the Court clarified
The Court made three crucial legal distinctions:
1. Bhagavad Gita
The Court held that the Gita is primarily a work of moral philosophy and ethical guidance, not a sectarian religious text.
It teaches:
• Duty (dharma)
• Self-discipline
• Self-realization
• Ethical action
Therefore, teaching the Gita is education in moral science, not religious preaching.
⸻
2. Vedanta
Vedanta was classified as a philosophical system concerned with:
• Consciousness
• Reality
• Self-knowledge
It is comparable to Western philosophy, not to religious ritual or worship.
⸻
3. Yoga
Yoga was held to be a civilisational and scientific discipline, dealing with:
• Physical health
• Mental discipline
• Psychological well-being
It is not religious instruction.
⸻
Why this matters
Under the Foreign Contribution Regulation Act (FCRA):
Foreign money cannot be used for religious propagation, but can be used for education, research, culture, and social development.
The Court ruled that:
Teaching Gita, Vedanta, or Yoga falls under education and cultural activity, not religion.
So NGOs teaching these subjects are legally entitled to receive foreign funding.
⸻
Constitutional significance
The judgment reaffirmed that:
• India’s civilisation predates modern religions
• Its philosophical traditions are part of national culture, not sectarian faith
• The State must not misclassify Indian knowledge systems as “religion” to suppress them
⸻
In one sentence
The Madras High Court held that Gita, Vedanta, and Yoga are civilisational systems of knowledge—not religious preaching—and therefore cannot be restricted under India’s FCRA.
Excellent judgement.
