The notice, sent through Mr Azad's legal counsel Naresh Kumar Gupta, seeks compensation of Rs 2 crore for causing damage to Mr Azad's "unblemished reputation."
DPAP chairman Ghulam Nabi Azad has sent a legal notice to Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh for calling him a "slave", "Mir Jafer" and a "vote-cutter."
The notice, sent through Mr Azad's legal counsel Naresh Kumar Gupta, seeks compensation of Rs 2 crore for causing damage to Mr Azad's "unblemished reputation."
"That you Mr Jairam Ramesh (Notice Receiver)... always remain in search of occasion to tarnish and harm the growing dignity, respect, honour conferred upon him (Azad) at national level... by way of repeated posts in your Twitter account word 'Ghulam' in order to inflict injury to lower him in the estimation of others, soon after Mr Azad was honoured by Padam Bhushan Award," the notice read.
Mr Ramesh used the name "Ghulam" in order it to mean "slave", which it translates to, deliberately and intentionally, to defame the leader in the public, Mr Gupta said in the notice.
