Swamy had allegedly made defamatory comments on a micro-blogging site.

A court in Chennai on Wednesday summoned BJP leader Subramanian Swamy to appear before it on October 30 in connection with a defamation suit filed against him by Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa.

Principal Sessions Judge Audinathan ordered issuance of summons after a libel complaint was filed by the city public prosecutor M L Jagan on Tuesday.

The complaint stated that on September 12, Swamy had allegedly made defamatory comments on a micro-blogging site related to granting of police permission to hold a memorial meeting for a slain leader of a proscribed outfit.

Swamy had already been issued summons to appear on the same day before the same court in another defamation case filed by Jayalalithaa pertaining to the fishermen
