Today, Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi appeared in a local court in connection with a criminal defamation case against him, notwithstanding the Supreme Court stay on the proceedings in the matter.
He presented himself before Magistrate D P Kale in line with the commitment given by his counsel on March 30. The court posted the case of defamation against him for allegedly blaming the RSS for the Mahatma Gandhi’s assassination.
Gandhi, who spent less than 15 minutes in court, told reporters that he came to honour the commitment given to the court.
“We respect the judiciary, that is why I am here. I had made a commitment to the court. I am here to fulfil that commitment,” said a post on his office’s Twitter handle @office 0f RG, which was launched only yesterday.
“The fight which Gandhiji fought is our fight. We will fight that and we will win,” said another tweet.
