NEW DELHI (Reuters) - The operator of online encyclopaedia Wikipedia has challenged a New Delhi court's order to remove statements from its page that the court said defamed a domestic news website, two sources with direct knowledge of the matter said on Monday.

Last week's Delhi High Court ruling came after Indian news agency ANI sued the U.S. platform last year for defamation. ANI said in its lawsuit it was being described on its Wikipedia page as an agency facing criticism for being a "propaganda tool" for the government and sought removal of such statements.
