On the other hand, Gajendra Singh Shekhawat says that if it is so, then he should prove it.
Ashok Gehlot had given a statement saying that the victims of the scam had met him thrice and shared their pain. He had said that he (Gajendra Singh Shekhawat) is a cabinet minister, is he not ashamed that he is not taking any step to get the money of two and a half lakh people? His people are sitting in jail. Do they have no morals? It is our duty to talk to the victims.
Shekhawat attacked Gehlot in the complaint
The complaint of defamation states that the said false, unnecessary, derogatory and defamatory statements have been made by the accused (Ashok Gehlot) with a view to tarnish the image of the complainant in the eyes of general public, voters and his relatives. The complainant Gajendra Singh Shekhawat also stated that the accused is disappointed as the complainant had defeated the son of the accused by a huge margin in the last election and thus according to the complainant the statement given by the accused is a political vendetta.
