Hyderabad, Aug 24 (IANS): A Hyderabad court on Wednesday issued notices to BJP MP Parvesh Varma and former MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa in a defamation case filed by TRS lawmaker K. Kavitha.

The two BJP leaders had made allegations linking Kavitha, daughter of Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao, to the alleged multi-crore Delhi liquor scam.

The city civil court, in an interim order, directed the BJP leaders not to make any defamatory statements against Kavitha either on print, electronic and social media or any other medium.

Hearing the the petition, the 9th Additional Chief Civil Judge issued notice and adjourned the hearing to September 13.

Kavitha, a member of Telangana Legislative Council, on Monday announced filing of defamation suit against two BJP leaders.

The former MP sought an injunction order against those making the allegations.

The BJP leaders had alleged on Sunday that she played a crucial role in a liquor policy scam involving Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has already filed a case against Sisodia and others accusing them of indulging in financial irregularities in executing the new liquor policy for the national capital.

Sirsa alleged on Sunday that Kavitha facilitated meetings at the Oberoi Hotel and brought liquor barons from the south.

Kavitha termed the allegations "completely baseless". Stating that the BJP government has all agencies in their hands, she said they can do whatever investigations required and she would completely cooperate.

She claimed that BJP was trying to tarnish the reputation of KCR's family by making baseless allegations as he had been vocal in criticising policies of the BJP government.
