Rahul Gandhi asked to appear before court on June 12

Deccan Chronicle  

Thane: A Bhiwandi court has asked Congress President Rahul Gandhi to appear before it on June 12 to record his plea in a defamation case filed against him by an RSS functionary. The court, on May 2, heard arguments on Gandhi's application, seeking a detailed recording of evidence instead of a 'summary trial', and adjourned the matter till June 12. He filed the case against the Congress president over the latter's alleged statement at an election rally near Bhiwandi on March 6, 2014, that "the RSS people had killed Gandhi." We have sought for a summons trial which would go into the in-depth recording of the evidence," Rahul Gandhi's lawyer Narayan Iyer said.
