The Supreme Court has quashed the defamation complaint against RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav over his alleged ‘only Gujaratis can be thugs’ remark. The bench noted that Yadav has withdrawn his statement. This comes after the court directed Yadav to file a proper statement withdrawing his remark. The court had earlier stayed the proceedings in the criminal defamation complaint and issued notice to the complainant. The complaint was filed by Haresh Mehta, a local businessman and activist, claiming that Yadav’s comments defamed all Gujaratis.
