Against BJP Somaiya, Londhe files defamation case

Nagpur: Congress’s newly appointed spokesperson whose name is Atul Londhe on Monday filed a civil and criminal defamation case against BJP state unit vice president Kirit Somaiya. The complainant has prayed for imposing a fine of up to Re 1 on the Respondent and apology for making “baseless and false allegations” against the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) leaders.

Talking to the media, Atul has said that the former BJP MP is giving defamatory statements on NCP, Shiv Sena, and Congress leaders without any evidence. And there is a dire need to stop them immediately.

Atul has said that Kirit false allegations and relentless attack against Maha Vikas Aghadi leaders are now creating distrust among all. Atul has said that “He is responsible for completely destroying the careers of many young leaders. He has never been able to prove even a single charge against any leader. If you want to expose corruption completely, then expose it without targeting selected parties and with any concrete evidence.”

Submitted the video clippings

The spokesperson also stated that while appearing on 1 TV channel. Kirit had alleged that according to the claim of former Mumbai Police Commissioner Param Bir Singh, out of the extortion of about Rs 100 crore received by a former minister. About 40 percent went to the NCP and Shiv Sena and the rest about 20 percent. The Congress party got the percentage.

Londhe has also claimed that he was also present in the same show. Londhe has also said that when I asked Kirit for proof of this, then Kirit went away. And I have also submitted the video clippings of the show along with all my cases. Singh himself is saying that Singh has no proof of any kind of allegation of about Rs 100 crore. Then how can Kirit make such a derogatory allegation?

Speaking on the rest of the allegations leveled by the former BJP MP against his party leaders. Londhe has pointed out that in 1st case. The judge himself stated that he had made Kirit’s complaint to be lodged in his office for almost 7 years. But he never came. He has also said that “He had also leveled allegations against Minister of State Chhagan Bhujbal, But the court acquitted all subsequent charges. And we want to put a complete stop to Kirit activities. Where Kirit does the work of defaming the leaders of the people without any evidence.”
