Senior BJP leader Vijay Jolly on Thursday served a legal notice on former Congress chief Rahul Gandhi for a defamatory video tweet titled “speaking truth to power” on December 13 last year.
Jolly alleged that through its official twitter handle, the Indian National Congress messaged a false, incorrect, untrue, malicious and defamatory video publication of an old news clipping dated February 23, 2017 titled “Former Delhi BJP MLA Vijay Jolly booked for rape after victim alleges he drugged her drink”.
Jolly stated that this was done by Congress led by Rahul Gandhi with the ulterior motive to tarnish the public image of BJP and its leaders including Jolly. “This defamatory publication was done willfully & without checking the facts, with the sole intent to tarnish my reputation and generate negative publicity against me,” Jolly said in legal notice.
