MJ Akbar's defamation case against Priya Ramani: Witnesses sing praises of ex-editor, say his image 'shattered' after 'false' allegations

Firstpost  

Two witnesses, appearing in support of former Union minister and ex-editor MJ Akbar on Wednesday in a defamation case against journalist Priya Ramani, claimed that her allegations during the #MeToo movement had caused damage to the former journalist and former minister of state’s reputation. He further claimed that Ramani’s tweets had caused “enormous damage” to Akbar’s reputation. Gujral, who told the court that he met Akbar when he was the editor of Sunday magazine, said that Ramani’s tweets had “tarnished” Akbar’s image. He added, “It is also wrong to suggest that Ramani’s disclosures in her tweets and articles relating to me were true and made in good faith for public interest and for public good.” Claiming that he had no intention to target Ramani by filing a defamation case in the matter against her, he said, “It is wrong to say that present complaint I filed is false and without merit and that I have been selective in filing this complaint against Priya Ramani in order to target her.” Ramani had on 10 April pleaded not guilty before the court and claimed trial after the court framed defamation charges against her on a criminal complaint of Akbar.
