New Delhi:
Law Minister Salman Khurshid's wife Louise Khurshid Friday filed a
civil defamation case in the Delhi High Court against a television
group for broadcasting a programme alleging that their NGO
siphoned off lakhs of rupees meant for physically challenged
people.
Seeking damages of Rs.100 crore, the lawsuit was filed against the
TV Today group for airing the defamatory programme on its
channels, Headlines Today and Aaj Tak, said court sources.
According to the Aaj Tak report, the union social welfare and
empowerment ministry had granted Rs.71.50 lakh to the Khurshids'
Zakir Hussain Memorial Trust for distributing tricycles and
hearing aids to the disabled in 17 districts of Uttar Pradesh.
The channel, in a sting operation, said the NGO, forged signatures
of senior officials in several districts of the state, to deprive
the physically challenged who were eligible for grants under a
scheme.
While Salman Khurshid is the president of the Trust, his wife is
the project director.
