Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) candidate for Coimbatore South constituency Vanathi Srinivasan has lodged a criminal defamation complaint against the YouTube channel ‘Gita TV’ and the woman allegedly running the channel on the video-sharing website.
A video uploaded on the YouTube channel had made some defamatory and controversial remarks on the BJP leader, the BJP and the ministers of the Tamil Nadu cabinet.
Taking to Twitter, Srinivasan said, “A criminal defamation complaint has been filed against the lady who runs a YouTube Channel under the name of ‘Gita TV’ for spreading blatantly false and defamatory content about me and several of the Cabinet ministers.”
“The claims made in the video are baseless, untrue and the derogatory comments made about me and my husband are condemnable. The deliberate attempts to malign my image prior to elections will not sustain in a court of law and this will be proven. Satyameva Jayate!”, Vanathi Srinivasan added in another tweet.
