Robert Vadra today expressed confidence that truth will prevail in the National Herald case in which his mother-in-law Sonia Gandhi and brother-in-law Rahul Gandhi are accused and said the "desperate malicious attempts of defamation" will not be believed.

"My full support to my mother-in-law and brother-in-law. Politics of vendetta and desperate malicious attempts of defamation will not be believed. Truth shall prevail," Vadra said in a Facebook post.

His comment came just before the appearance of Sonia and Rahul before a court here in connection with the National Herald case.

The Congress president and vice president have been summoned on a private criminal complaint of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy of conspiracy, cheating, breach of trust and misappropriation of property.
