Nitin Gadkari serves legal notices to Mallikarjun Kharge, Jairam Ramesh, demands written apology

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari took legal action on Friday against Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and General Secretary Jairam Ramesh for spreading what he claims to be misleading and defamatory content about him on the social media platform X.

The minister was surprised to discover posts from the official Congress handle on the microblogging platform, which he alleges misrepresented his statements, news agency PTI reported citing Balendu Shekhar, Gadkari's lawyer.

Kharge and Ramesh are accused of sharing a 19-second video clip of Gadkari's interview with "The Lallantop" web portal, omitting the context and meaning of his words, as per the notice issued, PTI reported.
