Congress MP Shashi Tharoor appeals Supreme Court to challenge defamation ruling over "scorpion on Shivling" remark about PM Modi.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor has appealed to India's Supreme Court to challenge a Delhi High Court ruling that upheld defamation proceedings against him. The case arose from Tharoor's controversial "scorpion on Shivling" remark about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, deemed "despicable and deplorable" by the High Court. Tharoor argues his statement was a fair comment, while the proceedings are set to go to trial.
