Gujarat Congress leaders Shaktisinh Gohil and Amee Yajnik, are lawyers and quite certainly understand Gujarati enough to translate the Surat court order to English. Despite that Congress has taken days to file an appeal against Rahul Gandhi's conviction.
Jagdish Tytler is accused of leading a mob against Sikh community in 1984 riots that broke out following assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.
The court said that despite asked by the Supreme Court to be careful, Rahul Gandhi made defamatory comments, and as he is a parliamentarian, strong punishment is needed.
During an election rally in the run-up to the 2019 elections, Rahul Gandhi had mocked an entire community by saying, “Nirav Modi, Lalit Modi, Narendra Modi… how come they all have Modi as a common surname? How come all thieves have Modi as a common surname?”
Delhi High Court ordered AAP leaders Saurabh Bhardwaj, Sanjay Singh, Durgesh Pathak and Dilip Kumar Pandey to take down defamatory allegations against BJP leader Shyam Jaju and his son Sandesh Jaju
