2 Senior lawyer Kapil Sibal appeared for Rahul Gandhi3 Lawyer UR Lalit appeared for Petitioner Ram Madhav Kunte. Rahul Gandhi has told the Supreme Court he never blamed the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi, a statement that might relieve him of the defamation suit filed by the BJP's ideological fountainhead. During the hearing today in the apex court, Rahul's lawyer Kapil Sibal told the court, "Rahul Gandhi never accused the RSS as institution for the crime (Gandhi's killing)." History is the biggest enemy of privacy," the Supreme Court had observed. At an election rally in March last year, Rahul had accused the RSS of killing Gandhi, who was gunned down by Nathuram Godse.
