<p><strong>New Delhi:</strong>&nbsp;Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi today told the Supreme Court that he is ready to face trial in a defamation case over the controversial comment that RSS men killed Mahatma Gandhi.</p>
<p>The Supreme Court refused to give exemption to Rahul gandhi from personal&nbsp;appearance before Bhiwandi court in Maharashtra in the case.</p>
<p>In 2014, during a rally in Bhiwandi, Thane, Rahul Gandhi had blamed the RSS in assassination of Mahatma Gandhi on January 30, 1948.</p>
<p>Here's what Twitter had to say about it</p>
