Digital Desk: A local court has recorded the statement of a Congress leader who filed a defamation case against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for allegedly making derogatory remarks against party leaders Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. Sarma allegedly made the statements while campaigning for the 2022 Uttarakhand Assembly elections.
Complainant Ganesh Upadhyay, the spokesperson for the Uttarakhand Congress, recorded his statement before Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (3rd) Nadeem Ahmad during a hearing on May 15.
He claimed that the Assam Chief Minister's remarks hurt the feelings of the members of civil society.
According to Upadhyay, at an electoral meeting in Kichcha on February 11, 2022, Sarma stated, "Did we ever ask Rahul Gandhi to provide proof of who his father is?"
The Assam Chief Minister was slamming Rahul Gandhi for raising concerns about India's surgical strikes in Pakistan in 2016.
The next hearing on the matter is scheduled for June 3.
