Modi surname Rahul says SC, “Not guilty, let me attend Lok Sabha sessions.”
in the instance of the Modi surname, Rahul informs the Supreme Court that he is not guilty and requests permission to continue participating in ongoing sessions of the Lok Sabha. Rahul Gandhi took a jab at Prime Minister Narendra Modi in April 2019 while speaking at a rally in the city of Kolar in the state of Karnataka. He asked, “How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?”
Congressman Rahul Gandhi, who continues to assert his innocence in the “Modi surname” remark case, asked the Supreme Court on Wednesday to postpone his two-year sentence so he may take part in the current Lok Sabha session and the sessions that will follow.
Rahul Gandhi poked fun at Prime Minister Narendra Modi at a rally in Kolar, Karnataka, in April 2019 by asking, “How come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname?”
Gandhi stated in an affidavit submitted to the Supreme Court that he has consistently maintained his innocence and that the “conviction is unsustainable.” Gandhi added that if he had been required to apologise and compound the charge, “he would have done it much earlier.”
Gandhi’s affidavit claimed that the complainant, Gujarat BJP MLA Purnesh Ishwarbhai Modi, only used derogatory language like “arrogant” to describe him since he has failed to apologise.
It is a blatant abuse of the judicial system and should not be tolerated by this court, he continued, to “arm twist” Gandhi into making an apology for no wrongdoing by using the criminal procedure and the penalties under the Representation of Peoples Act.
Gandhi has a “exceptional” situation, according to the affidavit, given the fact that the infraction was minor and the irreparable harm it does him as an elected MP.
“On the other hand, the complainant is not at all prejudiced. Therefore, it is hoped that Gandhi’s conviction would be overturned, allowing him to take part in the current Lok Sabha session as well as any that follow, Gandhi stated.
On Monday, the complainant in Rahul Gandhi’s criminal defamation case told the Supreme Court that the Congressman’s attitude reveals arrogant entitlement and that he doesn’t deserve any relief in the form of a stay on his conviction. Gandhi was found guilty and given a two-year prison sentence by a Surat court for the remark about the “Modi surname.”
According to the complainant, Gandhi has displayed arrogance rather than remorse for his words, and his attitude reveals disrespect for the law as well as insensitivity to an insulted community.
“At the time of sentence before the Trial Court, the Petitioner did not exhibit any signs of remorse or contrition. He declared that he would not apologise for any damage to the reputation of the people he had slandered and that he did not ask the court for any pity. The petitioner declared in a news conference after the conviction and sentence that he would never apologise in this case since he was not a Savarkar but a Gandhi, according to the affidavit submitted by the complainant Purnesh Ishwarbhai Modi.
Gandhi defamed a group of people who were completely innocent by his careless and spiteful statements, the complainant argued in his request for dismissal of Gandhi’s appeal.
