A Special Court for MPs and MLAs in West Bengal on Friday issued summons to Home Minister Amit Shah to appear either personally or through a representative before the court on February 22 in connection with a defamation case filed by TMC MP Abhishek Banerjee. The case against Shah had been filed on August 28, 2018 under Section 500 of the Indian Penal code.
As per the submission in court, Shah had said, "The resident of the village in Bengal. Has the money reached your village? where did it go? Where? Modi ji has sent it. Where did Rs 3,59,000 crore go? This has been gifted to the nephew and the syndicates. This has been sacrificed at the altar of corruption by the Trinamool Congress."
On August 13, MP Abhishek Banerjee, who is also the Chief Minister's nephew, sent a legal notice to shah, demanding an apology from him for allegedly making defamatory statement against him.
Later, Abhisekh filed a criminal defamation case against amit shah for the baseless allegation against him.
