    color:black">Digital Desk: Vardhan Yadav, National Secretary of the Indian
    Youth Congress (IYC), has sent a legal defamation notice to Angkita Dutta,
    former President of the Pradesh Youth Congress.



    color:black">The notification was issued in response to Dutta's tweet and
    allegations made against Vardhan Yadav. In compliance with the directives of
    the National Chairman, Advocate Roopesh Singh Bhadauria, the IYC legal cell has
    launched strict legal action on the subject.



    The defamation notice was
    issued on behalf of Vardhan Yadav by Adv. Ambuj Dixit, the National
    Co-Coordinator of the IYC Legal Cell. Adv. Dixit stated in his testimony that
    Dutta had used completely unparliamentary, undignified, slanderous, and
    spiteful language against Vardhan Yadav. He went on to say that Dutta's charges
    were completely untrue, frivolous, and without foundation.

    mentioned in the Sharda Chit Scam Fund and ED/PMLA cases, and that she was in
    frequent contact with Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma.



    The IYC legal cell claims
    that Dutta was deliberately maligning and defaming people in order to create an
    atmosphere in which people would leave the Congress Party in order to join the
    BJP, the ruling regime at both the state and federal levels, and thus get these
    cases closed.



    color:black">According to the IYC legal cell, the entire process of publicly
    maligning and defaming Vardhan Yadav was politically driven and had no basis in
    truth. The legal letter delivered to Dutta required that she withdraw her
    statements against Vardhan Yadav immediately and give a public apology, failing
    which she would face legal penalties.



    color:black">Meanwhile, Manjit Mahanta, Chairman of the Assam Congress' Media
    Department, held a press conference at Rajiv Bhawan on Saturday.



    Mahanta addressed
    Angkita's dismissal from Congress during the press conference. "Angkita
    has been expelled from her primary membership position for the next six
    years," he stated. The APCC has no jurisdiction here; the AICC makes the
    decision."



    color:black">Angkita herself applauded Srinivas a few months ago, but now she
    accuses the leader of harassment. She was told to be patient for a while, but
    she nonetheless filed the complaint."



    "On top of that, she
    disobeyed the party's president." She was ordered to wait 48 hours, but
    she chose to go against the party. Angkita has been expelled for exceeding her
    boundaries; no one is above the party. Furthermore, she is being utilised as a
    scapegoat by the BJP," he continued.
