Rahul Gandhi to challenge defamation conviction on Monday

New Delhi,1/4: Top Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will file appeal against his conviction in a defamation case in the Surat Sessions Court on Monday, ten days after a district court found him guilty.

 

 

Rahul may personally go to Surat.

 

The former Congress president was sentenced to two years in prison on charges of defaming the ‘Modis’ through a speech in Karnataka’s Kolar in 2019.

 

His sentence was suspended and given 30 days time to appeal. Soon after his conviction, he was disqualified as an MP, leading to a joint Opposition protest.
