Adarsh members seek apology from Modi over 'land grab' charge

 Members of Adarsh Housing Society
today issued a notice against Narendra Modi seeking apology
for "defaming" the society and also threatened to file a
defamation suit of Rs 100 crore in the High Court if the BJP's
PM nominee failed to oblige.
The members have accused Modi of making "baseless"
allegations against the Society.
The notice signed by the society's secretary R C Thakur
has threatened to file a defamation suit of Rs 100 crore in
the Bombay High Court if Modi failed to apologise or produce
documents supporting his allegations within three days.
"The society and its members are constrained to serve you
(Modi) this notice for defaming the Adarsh Society on baseless
allegations which are not borne out of any material facts.
"You (Modi) have, during your election, rallies attacked
the Congress party and its leaders for which we have no
complaints. But your attempt to tarnish us with fake and
fabricated allegations like the Society has grabbed defence
land meant for Kargil war veterans and their widows have
caused irreparable damage to the Society and its members,"
reads the notice.
The notice claimed that a judicial inquiry commission set
up by the Maharashtra government has concluded that the land
where the highrise stands in South Mumbai belonged to the
state government and not reserved for war veterans or their
families.
"We demand you (Modi) to produce any document supporting
your claim and allegations within three days of receipt of
this notice. Failing this, we would be constrained to file a
defamation suit of Rs 100 crore against you in the Bombay High
Court," the notice said.
