Defamation suit will give a chance to clarify stand: Anurag

January 29, 2014 01:15

BJP MP Anurag Thakur today welcomed the Delhi High Court's decision to issue notices to him and his brother Arun Dhumal on a defamation case filed by industrialist Vakamullah Chandrashekhar, saying it would give them an opportunity to clarify their stand on the issue.

The defamation suit was filed following allegations levelled by Anurag and Arun, sons of former Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister P K Dhumal, over financial dealings between Chandrashekhar's firm and present CM Virbhadra Singh and his family members.

Addressing a series of rallies in Sujanpur area of Hamirpur district, Anurag said once the matter had come before the court everything would become clear, and claimed since they were on the right side the decision would be in their favour. He requested the Delhi High Court authorities to hold day to day hearings in this important case to decide "who is right and who is wrong".
