New Delhi: Rejecting the Congress’ charge over business transactions of its chief Amit Shah’s son, the BJP said on Sunday it is not avoiding the issue but has gone on the offensive, as Jay Amit Shah is filing a criminal and a Rs 100 crore civil defamation case in the matter.
Union minister Piyush Goyal also issued a statement of Jay Amit Shah in which the BJP chief’s son said he will sue a news website’s owner, editor and author for Rs 100 crore for an article that makes “false, derogatory and defamatory imputation against me by creating in the minds of right-thinking people an impression that my business owes its ‘success’ to my father Amit Shah’s political position”.
