Defamation case by Sabir Ali: BJP's Naqvi summoned as accused

New Delhi: BJP Vice President Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi has been summoned as an accused by a Delhi court in a defamation complaint filed against him by former JD(U) leader Sabir Ali for allegedly linking him

He said the photocopy of the alleged defamatory tweet and the newspapers cutting where the tweet was reported “prima facie shows that the offending tweet was made by the accused in his account on social networking site ‘Twitter'.”

He claimed that content of the tweet was widely circulated in the print and social media and this was not disowned by Naqvi as apparent from the footage of his statement given to the news channels.

He claimed that due to the alleged statement of Naqvi, Ali and his family members suffered “gross mental harassment” and it has “severely damaged his political career”.
