Wed Feb 12 16:02:19 UTC 2025: ## Hug Day Celebrated Amidst Rahul Gandhi Summons
**Lucknow, India** – February 12th marked Hug Day, the sixth day of Valentine’s Week, a time for expressing affection through embraces. While many exchanged heartfelt messages and images online to celebrate the occasion, a contrasting event unfolded in the political arena.
A Lucknow court issued a summons to Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Indian National Congress, to appear on March 24th. The summons stems from a complaint filed by a former director of the Border Roads Organisation (BRO), alleging that Gandhi made comments critical of the Indian Army, stating that Chinese soldiers were beating Indian soldiers. This legal action overshadowed the romantic celebrations of Hug Day across the nation.
