Shashi Tharoor made allegations in a TV interview with a Kerala-based news organization called ‘24 News’.
Chandrasekhar’s notice read, “Immediately withdraw all the allegations and aspersions made by you, the notice against our client Rajeev Chandrashekhar, on the aforesaid news channel dated 06.04.2024. Tender an unconditional public apology to our client to his satisfaction through print and electronic media with regard to the said baseless allegations and aspersions made by you and stop indulging in any such activities in the future.”
The legal notice also states that Tharoor has made these statements “with an intent to harm” Rajeev Chandrasekhar.
The legal notice further states: “It is apprehended that you (Shashi Tharoor) have concocted these allegations and circulated them in order to influence the voters in Thiruvananthapuram.”
