The Supreme Court on Friday urged BJP leader Rajiv Babbar to close defamation case against Congress leader Shashi Tharoor over Tharoor's remark comparing PM Narendra Modi to a "scorpion". "Let us close all these things. Why to get so touchy about all this?" the court stated. Tharoor, in 2018, said that PM Modi is a "scorpion sitting on a Shivling".
