Swamy to move SC against defamation cases by Jaya

“I have decided to approach the Supreme Court against this abuse of power. One of her secretaries who is approving these cases will also be made accountable for this. The magistrate who is entertaining these cases needs to apply his mind. I am waiting for the summons to be served,” he told The Indian Express. “Two more defamation cases. Will go to SC but waiting for the summons to be served. Then the Sanction order basis of that dumb bureaucrat (sic),” he had tweeted Tuesday.

Jayalalithaa had sued Swamy after he said, “Since there were no requests from the owners of the boats seized by the Sri Lankan Navy, I requested only for the release of the fishermen. The boats belonged to powerful leaders like DMK’s TR Baalu and Jayalalithaa’s friend Sasikala.”
