In a major setback for Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, the Gujarat High Court on Friday dismissed his plea seeking a stay on his conviction in a criminal defamation case over his Modi surname remark. The bench of Justice Hemant Prachchhak reserved order on Gandhi’s plea on May 2. A stay on his conviction would have paved the way for his reinstatement as a Member of Parliament (MP). The criminal defamation case was filed over a remark made by Gandhi, a former MP, during the 2019 Lok Sabha campaign. Referring to people like Lalit Modi, Nirav Modi, Gandhi had asked “why all thieves have the same surname?”. Who had filed defamation case against Rahul Gandhi? BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi had filed a criminal defamation case against Gandhi, alleging that the latter’s comment defamed the entire Modi community, The Congress leader has maintained that there was no malafide intention on his part when he made the statement in question.
