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.

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.

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."

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.
