Meanwhile, it is being told that tomorrow, on April 21, he will file a petition in the High Court, and will demand an early hearing.

That statement of Rahul Gandhi in 2019

In the year 2019, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had asked some questions on those with the surname 'Modi' at a rally in Kolar, Karnataka. Referring to India's 'fugitives' Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi, he had asked that 'after all, why is Modi in the surname of all thieves?' Angered by this, a defamation case was filed against Gujarat BJP leader Purnesh Modi. Four years after the statement, the Surat Magistrate Court found Rahul guilty in a verdict, and sentenced him to two years in jail.
