Rahul Gandhi Defamation Case: The Gujarat High Court on Friday (July 7) refused to grant any leniency to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi in his two-year sentence in a criminal defamation case related to the Modi surname. Congress leader P Chidambaram has given his reaction on this decision of the High Court.

P Chidambaram said that in the 162-year history of the Indian Penal Code, it had never happened before that someone was sentenced to two years for such statements. He tweeted that the whole purpose of defamation against Rahul Gandhi was to disqualify him from the membership of Parliament. What happened after this was an attempt to justify the disqualification.

The court said that they do not have any rational basis to stay the decision of conviction in this case.
