Defamation case; Smriti Irani won against Congress Leaders

In the Defamation case, Smriti Irani won against Congress Leaders. The court ordered three Congress leaders to delete tweets within 24 hours accusing Union Minister Smriti Irani’s daughter of running an illegal bar in Goa. Jairam Ramesh, Pawan Khera and Netta D’souza were also ordered to appear in court on August 18 in a ₹ 2-crore defamation suit filed by Smriti Irani. The High Court said if the Congress leaders failed to remove their tweets, Twitter would have to do so.

The Delhi High Court has issued a notice asking us to formally reply to the case filed by Smriti Irani. We look forward to presenting the facts before the court. We will challenge and disprove the spin being put out by Ms Irani. The Union Minister last week sent a legal notice to the three Congress leaders and their party. She sought a written unconditional apology and the withdrawal of allegations against her daughter immediately.
