NEW DELHI: Days after Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the post of MP after a Gujarat court convicted him in a defamation case, he is facing a new defamation case. A complaint has been filed against him in the Haridwar court by RSS activist Kamal Bhadoria for describing the RSS as the Kauravas of the 21st century during the Bharat Jodo Yatra.

Kamal Bhadoria's lawyer has informed that the complaint has been filed under sections 499,500 of the IPC, which carries a maximum jail term of two years. He said that the court will consider the petition on April 12. As per the complaint, during the Bharat Jodo Yatra in Haryana's Ambala district, Rahul called the RSS as the Kauravas of the 21st century along with criticizing central government policies.

"Who were the Kauravas? I will first tell you about the 21st century Kauravas, they wear khakhi half-pants, they carry lathi in hand and hold shakhas.... India's 2-3 billionaires are standing with the Kauravas," Rahul Gandhi said comparing RSS to Kauravas.

"Did the Pandavas do demonetisation, implement wrong GST? Would they have ever done so? Never. Why? Because they were tapasvis and they knew that demonetisation, wrong GST, farm laws are a way to steal from tapasvis of this land.... (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi did sign on these decisions, but the power of India's 2-3 billionaires were behind it, whether you agree or not." he added.
