Arvind Kejriwal put on trial on charges of defamation

I don't have any personal enmity against Kejriwal,” Gadkari said.

Gadkari also told the court that he was ready to resolve the issue if Kejriwal withdraws his statement.  

“I am ready to fight the legal battle. Let the inquiry against me proceed and charges be proved against me in public,” he said.

Kejriwal, however, refused to withdraw his statement and allegations which he had leveled against Gadkari.  

“I can't withdraw my statement and allegation. I have documentary proof for all the allegations,” Kejriwal said.  On May 27, Kejriwal had obtained bail from the trial court by furnishing a personal bond.

Kejriwal was earlier summoned as an accused by the court in the defamation complaint in which Gadkari had alleged that he was defamed by the AAP leader who had included his name in the party's list of “India's most corrupt”.
