Another Defamation Case Against Rahul Gandhi For Calling RSS 'Kauravas Of 21st Century'

A defamation case has been filed against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for his 'RSS is 21st century's Kaurav' remarks.

An RSS worker in Haridwar court filed a defamation case against Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his 'RSS is 21st Century's Kauravas' remarks. RSS worker Kamal Bhadauria who also happens to be an advocate filed this case and its hearing will begin on April 12, reported news agency ANI.

When Bharat Jodo Yatra was in Haryana, Gandhi said, "Kaurav kaun they? Ikkisvi sadi ke Kauravon ke baare me bata deta hoon. Ikkisvi sadi ke Kaurav khaki half-pant pehente hain, haath mein laathi liye hote hain aur shaakha lagate hain. Unke side mein, unki taraf, Hindustan ke 2-3 sabse ameer arabpati, khade hain (Who were the Kauravas? Let me tell you about the 21st century Kauravas. They wear khaki half-pants, carry lathi in hand and hold shakhas. India’s 2-3 billionaires are standing with the Kauravas).”

The Congress leader also equated the Congress as Pandavas. “Kya Pandavon ne kisi gareeb aadmi ke khilaaf apraadh kiya tha? Kya Pandavon ne demonetisation kiya kya; notebandi ki thi kya; galat GST lagu ki thi kya? (Did the Pandavas ever work against the poor? Did they carry out demonetisation, implement wrong GST?) Would they have ever done so? Never. Why? Because they knew that demonetisation, wrong GST, farm laws are a way to steal from tapasvis of this land,” he said.
