‘Mr. Modi is Scorpion on Shivling’: Delhi HC Refuses to Quash Defamation Case Against Congress MP Shashi Tharoor for Targeting PM of India

The Delhi High Court today rejected Shashi Tharoor’s request to dismiss a criminal defamation case for comparing PM Modi to a scorpion. The court also lifted the interim order, directing the parties to appear before the trial court on September 10. Tharoor’s legal team argued that he was simply quoting someone else and that the complaint was baseless and frivolous.
