Let us tell you that a court in Surat on Thursday sentenced Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to two years imprisonment in a criminal defamation case filed in 2019 for his remark regarding ‘Modi surname’. However, the court also granted bail to Rahul Gandhi. The court also stayed the execution of his sentence for 30 days, so that Congress leaders could challenge the verdict.

In PM Modi’s New India, Opposition leaders have become the prime target of BJP!

While BJP leaders with criminal antecedents are inducted into the cabinet, Opposition leaders are disqualified for their speeches.

Today, we have witnessed a new low for our constitutional democracy

Meanwhile his membership has been cancelled. The Lok Sabha Secretariat has issued a notification saying that he (Rahul Gandhi) has been disqualified under Article 102 (1) of the Constitution and Section 8 of the Representation of the People Act, 1951.

The Congress has said on this decision that the Lok Sabha membership of Rahul Gandhi has been terminated. He is constantly fighting for you and this country from the road to the Parliament, trying everything possible to save democracy. Despite every conspiracy, he will continue this fight at all costs and will take just action in this matter. The battle continues.
