Why so touchy: SC to BJP leader on defamation case against Tharoor
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".
