The Delhi High Court on Tuesday said that an individual who is in politics has to be "thick-skinned" but a distinction has to be made between satire and defamation.

Justice Amit Bansal made the observations while hearing an application by BJP leader and senior advocate Gaurav Bhatia seeking the removal of "defamatory" content from social media over his appearance on a TV news show earlier this month, where he was reportedly seen wearing a kurta "without any pants/pyjama".
