Rahul Gandhi summoned to Patna in defamation case for ‘Modi surname’ remark
Live MintCongress leader Rahul Gandhi is summoned to a court in Patna on 25 April in the defamation case filed for his ‘Modi surname’ remark. On 18 March, the MP/MLA court of Special Judicial Magistrate Aadi Dev asked Rahul Gandhi to appear before the court on 12 April, but the defense counsel sought another date on Wednesday and claimed that the entire team was busy with the Surat case. Recently, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma said that he is planning to lodge a defamation case against Rahul Gandhi for his tweet on Adani in which he targeted leaders who left Congress. “Whatever Rahul Gandhi has tweeted is a defamatory tweet, once Prime Minister Narendra Modi goes back from Assam, there will be a defamatory case filed against him after April 14," Sarma said at a press conference.
