Defamation Case: Court Records Statement Against Himanta Sarma

The Rudrapur court of Uttarakhand has recently recorded the statement of a Congress leader who had filed a defamation case against Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma for allegedly making indecent remarks against party leaders Sonia Gandhi & Rahul Gandhi.

Complainant Ganesh Upadhyay (spokesperson of Uttarakhand Congress), recorded his statement before Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (3rd) Nadeem Ahmad during a hearing on May 15.

Sarma made alleged remarks while campaigning for the 2022 Uttarakhand Assembly polls.

Furthermore, he stated that the remarks by Assam CM hurt the sentiments of the members of the civil society.

According to Ganesh Upadhyay, at an election meeting on February 11, 2022, in Kichcha, Sarma said ”Did we ever ask Rahul Gandhi to give proof of who his father is.”
The Assam CM was condemning Rahul Gandhi for raising questions on the 2016 surgical strikes by India in Pakistan.

The next hearing in the case will be held on June 3.
