Remark against PM Modi: SC to hear Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's plea in defamation case

The Supreme Court will hear a plea by Congress MP Shashi Tharoor against a Delhi High Court verdict. The High Court refused to quash defamation proceedings related to Tharoor's 'scorpion on Shivling' comment about Prime Minister Modi. Previously, the Supreme Court stayed proceedings in the defamation case and sought responses from the Delhi Police and BJP leader Rajiv Babbar.
