Mumbai: Rahul Gandhi is likely to appear before a local court on Thursday in connection with a defamation case filed against him by Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh worker for allegedly linking the organisation with the murder of journalist Gauri Lankesh, sources said. In the complainant, Dhrutiman Joshi stated that Rahul Gandhi, within 24-hours of the murder of the journalist, criticised the RSS and alleged that “anybody who speaks against the ideology of the BJP, against the ideology of the RSS is pressured, beaten, attacked and even killed.” Joshi said that Sitaram Yechury was also heard and seen saying that it was the RSS ideology and the RSS men who killed Gauri Lankesh.
