In Relief For Atishi, BJP's Defamation Case Dismissed By Court | Read
A Delhi court on Tuesday afternoon junked a BJP leader's defamation complaint against Delhi Chief Minister Atishi, who had been summoned in connection with the charges. The city's Rouse Avenue court, as it quashed the summons, noted that the AAP leader's comment had been made against the opposition party as a whole and not individual members of the organisation.
In April last year Atishi - then a minister in former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal's cabinet -alleged she, and other AAP leaders, had been approached by individuals linked to the BJP, demanding she join the party or face 'arrest' by the Enforcement Directorate within a month.
