India, Aug. 14 -- Just hours after a plea was submitted in a Pune court citing a possible threat to Rahul Gandhi from those following the ideology of Vinayak Damodar Savarkar, the Congress leader's lawyer in Pune clarified that it had been filed without Gandhi's approval and will be withdrawn. Advocate Milind Pawar, who represents Gandhi in a defamation case filed by Savarkar's grand-nephew Satyaki Savarkar, said on Wednesday evening that a withdrawal plea will be moved before the judicial magistrate on Thursday. Pawar said the earlier submission, made in the afternoon, was drafted without discussion.htc
