‘Pakistan’ Remark: Tabu Rao Files Defamation Case Against B P Yatnal

Defamation Case

A Bengaluru court has recently ordered the filing of a criminal defamation case based on a complaint by Tabu Rao, the wife of Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao.

The case targets Basangouda Patil Yatnal for remarks he made on April 4 during the Lok Sabha elections. Yatnal claimed, “In Dinesh Gundu Rao’s house, there is half of Pakistan. It is an addiction for him to make anti-national statements.”

Following these comments, Tabu Rao lodged a complaint at the Sanjay Nagar police station, leading to a case being registered against Yatnal. She also provided the court with evidence, including newspaper reports and supporting documents. The court has now summoned Yatnal and is considering charges under Sections 499 and 500 of the IPC.

Meanwhile, Minister Dinesh Gundu Rao has alleged a conspiracy to target Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and destabilize the government. This accusation follows the Karnataka Governor’s sanction to prosecute CM Siddaramaiah in the alleged MUDA scam.

Rao defended the CM, stating, “Our CM has done nothing wrong. It is a conspiracy to target him and destabilize the government… The party has become more united now after this incident.” He emphasized the need for actions to be taken within the bounds of the law.
