Rahul Gandhi Will Fight Back! Petition Filed Against The Lower Court Order

Congress leader and former MP, Rahul Gandhi will file an appeal in the Surat session court against his conviction in the defamation case. In his appeal, the former president of the Congress requested that the session’s court remove the magistrate’s decision finding him guilty of defamation. Additionally, he requested a temporary stay of the judgment until the dispute was resolved.

Rahul Gandhi was given bail, while the Lok Sabha secretariat quickly suspended his sentence after 30 days to allow him to appeal the ruling. Leaders of the opposition questioned the “bullet train” pace at which the measures against him were implemented.
