Rahul Gandhi's Defamation Case: High Court Dismissal Sparks Congress Disappointment

The Congress party expressed disappointment but not surprise at the Gujarat High Court's decision to reject Rahul Gandhi's plea for a stay in a defamation case. Congress leader Abhishek Manu Singhvi criticized the court's ruling, stating that it failed to address the core legal issue of how an undefined group could claim locus and file a defamation case. The case was filed over Gandhi's "Modi surname" remark linking PM Narendra Modi with fugitives. Singhvi alleged that the defamation cases against Gandhi were part of an orchestrated political campaign by BJP office bearers. The Congress party expressed confidence in the Supreme Court to address the matter.
