New Delhi: The Supreme Court is expected to hear a defamation case against Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi filed by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh.
Rahul had earlier refused to apologise for his remarks "RSS killed Mahatma Gandhi" and was ready to face trial in the case.
On July 19, the apex court rapped the Gandhi scion for his remarks asking him to either apologise or face trial in the case. "If you won't apologise, you will have to face trial," the court had said.
"We have held it may be historically correct but the fact or the statement has to meet the test of public good. You can't make collective denunciation," a Bench comprising Justices Dipak Misra and RF Nariman had said.
While addressing a public rally at Sonale in Bhiwandi on March 6, 2015 Rahul had alleged it was "RSS people" who had killed Mahatma Gandhi.
"RSS people killed Gandhiji and today their people (BJP) talk of him...They opposed Sardar Patel and Gandhiji," he had said.
