Abhishek Banerjee sends legal notice to PM Narendra Modi

KOLKATA: Trinamool MP Abhishek Banerjee has sent a legal notice to PM Narendra Modi "for making slanderous allegations against him" at a rally in Diamond Harbour on May 15.
Banerjee has threatened to take legal action if Modi failed to apologise within 36 hours of receiving his legal notice.
The MP’s counsel Sanjay Basu, in the letter, stated that speech of Modi had malicious and defamatory content and it was done with political calculation to do mischief. Basu’s letter stated that at the said rally, the PM had mentioned Banerjee as a goon.
The letter stated that imputations of the PM were deliberate and mala fide. “It perpetrated through thinly veiled reference of bhatija(nephew) and Didi.”
Basu wrote that the way Banerjee was defamed by the PM was something unverified and inaccurate information ostensibly made at the behest of the BJP party workers.
Basu wrote that the PM even commented that Banerjee made discriminations in favour of the infiltrators by granting them liberty to carry out illegal activities, which is far from truth. “You threatened to lock up my client’s office after Lok Sabha polls results... . Such vile and vindictive statements are unbecoming of the post of PM.”
