Modi Surname Conviction

In a major setback to the Indian National Congress (INC) and Rahul Gandhi, the Gujarat High Court (HC) rejected Gandhi's plea, seeking suspension of conviction in the 2019 Modi Surname Defamation case. On July 7, the Gujarat HC said, "The conviction is "just, proper and legal." With this verdict of the Gujarat HC in plea, Rahul Gandhi will remain disqualified as MP, and is expected to move the Supreme Court.
