An Uttar Pradesh court on Wednesday ordered Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to appear before it on July 2 in connection with a defamation case, reported PTI.
The case was filed in August 2018 on the complaint of Bharatiya Janata Party leader Vijay Mishra. The BJP leader alleged that Gandhi had made objectionable remarks against home minister and former BJP President Amit Shah in May 2018, during the Karnataka Assembly elections.
On Wednesday, the special court for MPs and MLAs in Uttar Pradesh’s Sultanpur district summoned the Congress leader on a plea by a man named Ram Pratap, who sought to become a party to the defamation case.
