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.

Gujarat HC denies interim suspension in Rahul Gandhi defamation case.

The Gujarat high court has refused to grant interim suspension of Rahul Gandhi's conviction in a criminal defamation case over his "Modi surname" remark, which led to his disqualification as a Member of Parliament. The court will give a final verdict on Gandhi's plea to stay his conviction after the summer vacation. A stay on conviction could pave the way for Gandhi's reinstatement as a Lok Sabha member. The alleged offence was non-serious in nature and did not involve moral turpitude, and yet Gandhi's disqualification, because of not staying his conviction, would affect him as well as the people of his constituency.

Kejriwal Continues to Question PM's Degree After Gujarat HC Order

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has said that the Gujarat High Court's verdict overturning a CIC order to provide information on Narendra Modi's degree has increased suspicion over the Prime Minister's education. Kejriwal said that if there is a valid degree of Modi, why Gujarat University is not showing it? There can only be two reasons why Gujarat university is not ready to give information on the prime minister's academic qualification – it's either due to Modi's arrogance, or, his degree is fake.
