‘Mard ki aulaad maanunga…’: Why BJP MP Nishikant Dubey filed defamation case against ex-Finance Secretary Subhash Garg
The legal action by Nishikant Dubey follows a public feud sparked by ex-Finance Secretary Subhash Garg, who earlier questioned the official Q1 GDP growth data.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Member of Parliament Nishikant Dubey filed a defamation case against former Finance Secretary Subhash Garg on Monday. Dubey accused Garg of falsely claiming he had visited Garg's office in 2018. Dubey stated that Garg's actions demonstrated "bad behavior" and that he was correcting this behavior by filing the criminal defamation case.
The case stems from a public feud following Garg's questioning of official Q1 GDP growth data. Dubey shared a letter he previously sent to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2018, urging the review of Garg's macroeconomic framework, which he claims was followed by Garg's letter alleging Dubey visited his office.
