Surat: The Surat Sessions Court of Gujarat has accepted the appeal of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. Along with this, the court has granted bail to Rahul Gandhi until April 13. On the other hand, on May 3, the court will hear arguments against the punishment in the defamation case. Let us tell you that, during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Rahul Gandhi was sentenced to two years in jail by the Lower Court of Surat in a statement regarding the Modi surname. After this, according to the 2013 order of the Supreme Court, Rahul's Lok Sabha membership was over. Against this, Rahul Gandhi has approached the sessions court in Surat, Gujarat.
Let us tell you that during the 2019 election campaign in Karnataka, Rahul Gandhi made a statement regarding the Modi surname. On the basis of this statement, he was sentenced to two years in jail by the Surat Magistrate Court. After his conviction, the Lok Sabha Secretariat cancelled his membership. Congress is also creating a ruckus in this matter. Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha MPs of Congress reached the House wearing black clothes even today and created a ruckus. The opposition says that this is being done deliberately by Rahul.
Let us tell you that the Lok Sabha elections are going to be held in 2024. If Rahul's membership is not restored, he will not be able to contest elections for 8 years. In such a situation, questions were also being raised as to on whose face the Congress would contest the elections in 2024. At the same time, before Rahul Gandhi reached Surat, Gujarat Congress leaders were waiting for him. It had already been ordered by the high command that senior leaders would be present there for Rahul. At the same time, the chief ministers of three Congress-ruled states were also present during Rahul's appeal.
