Sultanpur: In a 2018 defamation lawsuit, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was called by an MP-MLA court for allegedly making "objectionable" remarks about Union Minister Amit Shah, according to the petitioner's lawyer.

Gandhi was summoned by MP/MLA court judge Yogesh Yadav on December 16, according to counsel Santosh Pandey, during a hearing on the case on Monday.

The defamation case was filed by BJP leader Vijay Mishra in 2018 against the Congress leader for allegedly making “objectionable” comments against Shah at a press conference in Bengaluru.

The complainant had referred to Gandhi’s comment that the BJP which claims to believe in honest and clean politics has a party president who is an “accused” in a murder case. Shah was the BJP president when Gandhi made the remark.

About four years before Gandhi’s remark, a special CBI court in Mumbai had discharged Shah in a 2005 fake encounter case when Shah was a minister of state for home in Gujarat.
