| Party veteran shoots legal | | War within PDP far from over! | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Sept 11: At a time when the Peoples Democratic Party is battling the internal rebellion, trying hard to woo back the rebel leaders, one of its senior leaders has launched a virtual war against another party leader, hinting that the trouble hasn't yet died down.
Attempts are being made by the PDP leadership to get disgruntled leaders back into the party fold. The party so far has managed to woo back two of its leaders. One who attended the party meeting on Monday and another one who met the party president and held an hour long discussion with her on Tuesday. There are two more left who so far have maintained distance from the party.
However, against one of the rebels, a senior party leader has sent a legal notice, signalling that things aren't as well as are presumed to be by the political pundits.
"You have clearly mentioned the name of my client in your statement to a local news agency and have levelled serious allegations against him including allegations of massive corruption by virtue of which allegedly my client has bought 250 kanals of land in Budgam district. You have made direct references to my client, and the political party to which he belongs, with respect to the defamatory content of your statement," reads the notice that the PDP leader sent via his lawyer.
It adds that through the said defamatory and mala fide statements, Ansari has caused irreparable damage to Akhtar's image and reputation as well as to the reputation and standing of the party to which he belongs.
The former minister has stated that the allegations raised by the leader in question amount to criminal defamation under section 500 RPC/IPC and is punishable under the penal laws of both J&K and India. "My client empathetically denies any such allegations and the onus lies on you to prove otherwise. Further, you will be held liable for any monetary and legal damages which my client seeks before a court of law."
He has further through the notice asked the party real to issue an unconditional public apology through print, electronic and social media for the incorrect allegations levelled against him and by ensuring that the said apology will be published in local and national newspapers with the same prominence as the impugned statements within fifteen (15) days from the receipt of the legal notice. |
