The Delhi High Court has given a big blow to Shashi Tharoor in the defamation case regarding his derogatory remarks on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The High Court has refused to cancel the proceedings of the defamation case filed against Congress MP Shashi Tharoor. Along with this, the court has rejected the petition of Congress leader Shashi Tharoor and has also ordered to remove the previous ban.
What is the whole matter?
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor had made a 'scorpion on Shivling' comment for PM Modi in 2018. BJP leader Rajiv Babbar has filed a defamation case against Tharoor for this insulting statement of Shashi Tharoor. The Delhi High Court has given its verdict in this case on Thursday.
What was Shashi Tharoor's demand?
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has filed a petition in the Delhi High Court seeking quashing of the defamation case filed against him by BJP leader Rajiv Babbar. Earlier, the Delhi High Court had stayed the proceedings going on in the lower court in this case. Apart from this, the High Court had also stayed the summons issued to Shashi Tharoor by the lower court on 27 April 2019. However, now the court has rejected Shashi Tharoor's petition and has also lifted the stay.
What was Tharoor's full statement?
Shashi Tharoor said that an anonymous source in the RSS told a reporter that Modi is like a scorpion sitting on a Shivling. You cannot remove him with your hands and you cannot even hit him with a slipper. Tharoor said that if you try to touch a scorpion you will be stung, but if you hit a Shivling with a slipper it will weaken all the sacred principles of faith.
