The BJP sought appropriate action against Gandhi, alleging that the Congress leader's remarks against Amit Shah during the Lok Sabha debate were "unparliamentary".
During the party’s ‘Har Booth, Congress Mazboot’ campaign, the grand old party found itself firefighting internal power struggles and fissures as public clashes erupted between rival factions.
The defence minister said that the remarks made by Rahul Gandhi, regarding PM Narendra Modi and India's foreign policy are not only extremely low-level, but also personally deeply distressing him.
The defamation case stems from Gandhi's comments on Savarkar made on November 17, 2022 during his Bharat Jodo Yatra at a rally in Maharashtra's Akola district.
