New Delhi [India], September 30 : Delhi Chief Minister Atishi on Monday met President Droupadi Murmu at the Rashtrapati Bhavan in the national capital.
"Called on Hon'ble President Smt. Droupadi Murmu ji at the Rashtrapati Bhavan today. Look forward to her support for the welfare of the people of Delhi," the Delhi CM posted on social media platform X.
The President also wrote on X, "Ms Atishi, Chief Minister of Delhi, called on President Droupadi Murmu at Rashtrapati Bhavan."
Earlier in the day, Chief Minister Atishi challenged the summoning order in a defamation case. Following this, Special Court Judge Vishal Gogne on Monday issued a notice to complainant BJP leader Praveen Shankar Kapoor in relation to a defamation complaint against her.
The special judge has listed the matter for hearing on October 7. The same matter has also been listed for October 7 before the Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM).
Senior advocate Ramesh Gupta, along with advocate Shailendra Singh and advocate Mudit Jain, appeared for Atishi in this case.
Following BJP leader Kapoor's defamation complaint, the Magistrate at Rouse Avenue Court issued the summons to Atishi Marlena on May 28 this year.
Before filing the complaint, the Delhi BJP leader sent a legal notice to AAP leader Atishi over her claims the BJP approached her through a "very close" person to join the party.
A notice was sent by Kapoor stating that on April 2, 2024, Atishi held a press conference and claimed that she was approached by the BJP to join the party.
A notice was sent through Advocate Satya Ranjan Swain on behalf of Kapoor stating that Atishi deliberately and with malicious intent made statements that are not only "false, scandalous, concocted, and illusionary" but also defamatory to harm the reputation of the BJP but also its members.
AAP Leader and Delhi CM had alleged that she was approached by the Bharatiya Janata Party to join them or else she'd be arrested by the Enforcement Directorate in the coming days.
