Rahul Gandhi's legal team is set to withdraw a plea filed without his consent, alleging a threat from Savarkar's followers, according to his lawyer, Milind Pawar.
The plea, filed in a Pune court, emerged amidst a defamation case by Satyaki Savarkar, who is challenging Gandhi's statements about his great-granduncle, Vinayak Savarkar.
Advocate Sangram Kolhatkar dismissed the plea as a tactic to delay the trial, which concerns claims of defamation relating to alleged statements Gandhi made about Savarkar's writings.
