Delh HC will hear today ex-cricketer and BJP MP Gautam Gambhir's defamation case against Punjab Kesari newspaper.

Gambhir has sued the paper, its editor and two reporters for a bunch of allegedly defamatory articles it carried.
#DelhiHighCourt @GautamGambhir @punjabkesari Image
Some of the reports carried by the paper which are referred to in Gambhir's suit are:

'Sansad Gautam Gambhir Lapata Gali-Gali Me Lage Poster' (MP Gautam Gambhir goes missing, posters come up in streets)

'Dilli ke lapata Sansad Lucknow Super Giants ke liye bane Bhasmasur'… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Gambhir has said argued that these reports create a false and deeply defamatory narrative regarding his work and bona fides as a parliamentarian in the minds of readers.

The reports paint him as a casteist person and a high-nosed politician, the suit states. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

During the course of the hearing, Justice Prateek Jalan expressed his displeasure at the kind of language being used by both parties.
"If you have both decided to enter the gutter, then please remain there," the bench remarked.
