Defamation case politically motivated, says BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj

New Indian Express  

NEW DELHI: The defamation case filed by former Delhi minister and AAP leader Satyendar Jain against BJP MP Bansuri Swaraj took a contentious turn as Swaraj’s counsel argued in Rouse Avenue Court that the complaint is politically driven. Representing Swaraj, Advocate Siddhesh Kotwal contended that the defamation complaint was a strategic move aimed at electoral politics, accusing Jain of leveraging the legal system for political gain. The defamation case stems from remarks made by Swaraj during a television interview on October 5, 2023, where she allegedly made defamatory statements about Jain. Swaraj’s counsel maintains that the defamation complaint lacks merit and is a tactical attempt to undermine her reputation and influence the electoral process.
