The Supreme Court will hear today a petition filed by Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi seeking a stay on the Bombay High Court order dismissing his plea for quashing a defamation case against him for allegedly blaming RSS for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi.
An RSS activist Rajesh Kunte had alleged that the Congress leader had accused the saffron outfit of killing Mahatma Gandhi at a rally during last year's Lok Sabha polls.
According to the RSS activist, the Congress vice president had told an election rally at Sonale on 6 March that "RSS people killed Gandhiji".
He further accused Gandhi of trying to tarnish the reputation of the Sangh through his speech.
