Mamata challenges HC order asking her ‘not to defame’ guv

Mamata Banerjee appealed a pre-trial order by Justice Krishna Rao limiting her from defamatory remarks against Governor Bose, arguing it restricts her free speech as a public representative. Labeling it a gag order, she claimed her statements echoed public issues concerning women. The Calcutta high court’s order involves personal rights and is effective until Aug 14.
