Ahmedabad, July 07, 2023 (PPI-OT): Toeing the Modi-government’s line, Gujarat High Court on Friday upheld the Sessions Court’s order and denied a stay on for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in the defamation case against ‘Modi surname’ remark. Gujarat High Court had in May reserved its verdict on Rahul Gandhi’s plea seeking a stay on his conviction in the 2019 ‘Modi surname’ defamation case.
Rahul Gandhi had moved the Gujarat High Court on April 25 challenging the Surat sessions court order which declined to stay his conviction in the defamation case. The Surat sessions court had on April 20 rejected Rahul Gandhi’s plea seeking a stay on his conviction by the lower court in the case.
At a rally in Kolar city of the Indian state of Karnataka in April 2019, Rahul Gandhi, in a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, said, “How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?”.
