Rahul Gandhi asked to appear before UP court on July 26 in defamation case

7 months ago 16

A court in Uttar Pradesh's Sultanpur asked Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to appear before it on July 26 in a defamation case filed against him for his alleged derogatory remarks against Union Home Minister Amit Shah.

BJP leader Vijay Mishra had filed a complaint against Rahul Gandhi in 2018 for his alleged derogatory remarks against Amit Shah at a press conference during the Karnataka assembly elections.

Mishra had accused Rahul Gandhi of tarnishing Amit Shah's image.

Rahul Gandhi's lawyer, Kashi Prasad Shukla, requested a "last chance" for his client to appear before the MP-MLA court in Sultanpur, citing his busy schedule in Parliament.

On February 20 this year, Rahul Gandhi was granted bail by the MP-MLA court in the defamation case on a surety of Rs 25,000 and a personal bond of the same amount.

The Congress leader pleaded innocence in court, saying he had not made any defamatory statement.

Despite Rahul Gandhi getting bail, the case is being heard in court.
