Rahul Gandhi pleads not guilty in defamation case filed by RSS worker

Rahul Gandhi

Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday, June 12, pleaded ‘not guilty’ in a defamation case filed by a RSS worker in a trial court in Bhiwandi in 2014.

Earlier, Rahul Gandhi came and took stand in the court. The court framed charges against him and read them out to him.

“(The complainant) says you defamed complainant’s organisation, that is RSS. Reputation of complainant and organisation was harmed … Have you received copies (of this)?” said the judge, to which Rahul replied in the affirmative.

“Do you plead guilty?” the judge asked. “I plead not guilty,” was Rahul’s firm answer.

The court has set August 10 as next date of hearing.

The case was filed against Rahul Gandhi in 2014 by RSS worker Rajesh Kunte. Kunte had filed the case after watching Rahul Gandhi’s speech at an election rally in which he had claimed that the RSS was behind the killing of Mahatma Gandhi.

“The RSS people had killed (Mahatma) Gandhi,” the Congress president had allegedly said in the rally.

The court had on May 2 asked Gandhi to appear before it on June 12 to record his plea. At that time, the court heard arguments on Rahul’s application and sought a detailed recording of evidence instead of a ‘summary trial’, reported The Times of India (TOI).

While the trial in such cases is normally held summarily, Rahul filed an application in April seeking that it be a ‘summons trial’.

“A summary trial is short and will be completed with just submitting the written arguments. We have sought for a summons trial which would go into the in-depth recording of the evidence,” said Rahul’s lawyer at the time, according to the TOI report.

Rahul had earlier moved the Supreme Court seeking quashing of the case. The apex court however said in July 2016 said the Congress president should not have resorted to “collective denunciation” of an organisation and would have to face trial if he did not express regret for his remark.

The Congress president declined to accept the top court’s suggestion and expressed willingness to face the trial.

“Let the BJP and RSS slap as many cases as they want against me, we will fight them and win,” said the Congress president to the media upon exiting the courtroom.

Sakshi And Bajrang

Olympians Sakshee Malik and Bharang Punia said today, they will keep fighting for justice and that no wrestler has given up and will not give upon protest.

Both Malik and Punia denied the news of withdrawing from the protest, they termed it as rumours and also urged people not to spread false news. We have resumed our responsibilities in Railways, but we are also working on our plan, Sakshee said.

The wrestlers also met with Home Minister Amit Shah late on Saturday night to ask him to conduct a fair investigation into allegations of sexual harassment made against Brij Bhushan Sharan Singh by seven female wrestlers, which also includes a minor.

It’s been learned that Amit Shah assured the wrestlers that the law still applies to everyone equally. He reportedly said to the wrestlers, let the law take its course.

The wrestlers announced they were going to submerge their medals in the Ganga river in Haridwar last month. They claim that their complaint against the head of the wrestling federation has been largely ignored.

However, they temporarily halted their plan as farmer leader Naresh Tikait intervened.

Earlier on May 28 march, some protesters were taken into custody. The country was shocked and outraged when images of champions Vinesh Phogat and her cousin Sangeeta Phogat being detained by the police surfaced.

The Delhi Police announced that they would not be permitted to stage a protest at India Gate after the wrestlers were denied access to the Jantar Mantar protest location following the crackdown.

Meanwhile, Sakshee Malik’s husband, wrestler Satyawart Kadian, also joined her and said, neither we have made a concession nor will we back down. All of it is false, and we won’t end our protest. He added we shall continue seeking justice while remaining strong. To weaken us, false information is being broadcast. The entire country is against the Delhi Police.
