The Hindu
The complainant had alleged that Mr. Gandhi defamed the entire Modi community.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appeared before a magistrate’s court in Surat on Thursday to record his final statement in a criminal defamation suit filed by a Gujarat MLA over the former’s remark on the “Modi surname”. BJP legislator from Surat Purnesh Modi had filed a complaint against Mr. Gandhi in April 2019 under IPC Ssections 499 and 500, that deal with defamation. A week back, Surat’s Chief Judicial Magistrate A.N. Dave directed Mr. Gandhi to remain present in the court on June 24 to record his final statement in the case.More Related News
