Rahul Gandhi's Lawyer Withdraws Threat Plea in Defamation Case
Imagine a lawyer filed something in court saying someone might hurt a politician.
The politician was upset because they didn't ask him first.
The lawyer had said the politician was in danger because of things he said about a famous person.
This famous person's family is suing the politician for saying mean things about the famous person.
The lawyer who filed the papers saying the politician was in danger took it back because the politician didn't like what it said.
The case is still ongoing and is about what the politician said about the famous person in a speech.
Rahul Gandhi's lawyer withdrew a court application alleging a death threat against him.
The application, filed without Gandhi's consent, linked the threat to his remarks about V.D. Savarkar.
