Rahul Gandhi in trouble; sentenced jail by court; granted bail
Kanwar Inder Singh/ March 23,2023
In a four years old case, Surat District Court has sentenced Congress MP Rahul Gandhi to two years of imprisonment in the criminal defamation case filed against him over his alleged โModi surnameโ remark during a rally in Karnatakaโs Kolar, ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
โWhy all the thieves, be it Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi or Narendra Modi, have Modi in their names,โ the Congress leader had allegedly said during the rally.
BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi had lodged a complaint against Gandhi for his alleged remarks about Modiโs surname at a rally in Karnatakaโs Kolar, ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections.
However, moments later, the court granted Rahul Gandhi bail, and stayed its order for a period of 30 days so the Congress leader can appeal in a higher court.
