On Friday, the Supreme Court granted a stay on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's conviction in the criminal defamation case regarding his 'Modi surname' remark. The Supreme Court had previously questioned why was the maximum sentence given. They observed that had the judge given a sentence of one year and eleven months, then Rahul Gandhi would not have been disqualified.
Mahesh Jethmalani, an advocate, mentioned that the Supreme Court had previously warned Rahul Gandhi when he stated that the Prime Minister was indicted by the top court in the Rafale case. He further said that there was no change in Rahul Gandhi's conduct.
The Supreme Court began hearing of an appeal filed by Rahul Gandhi, which challenged the Gujarat High Court order that declined to stay his conviction. Both parties are awaiting the judgment of the Supreme Court.
