Published on Jul 29, 2022 04:30 pm IST

The Delhi High Court has ordered three Congress leaders to delete their tweets, videos and retweets accusing Union Minister Smriti Irani's daughter of running an illegal bar in Goa within 24 hours. The High Court said if the Congress leaders failed to remove their tweets, Twitter would have to do so. Jairam Ramesh, Pawan Khera and Netta D'souza have also been summoned on August 18 in a RS 2 crore defamation suit filed by Smriti Irani. "I am of the prima facie view that slanderous allegations were made against the plaintiff without verifying actual facts," said Justice Mini Pushkarna. Watch this video for more details.
