Oppn leader to file defamation suit against CM

Bhopal, Feb 24 (UNI) Madhya Pradesh Assembly Opposition Leader Jamuna Devi today said she would file a defamation suit against Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan and the Inspector General of Police (Indore) for registering a false case against her daughter over a caste certificate.

Ms Devi told reporters here that she was sending notice to people concerned in this regard after consulting senior Supreme Court lawyer Vivek Tankha.

She alleged that the government was hatching a conspiracy to tarnish her image following the registering of a case against Mr Chouhan in the much-debated dumpers' purchase case.

The Opposition leader said police had no right to lodge an FIR directly in a case related to a caste certificate.
