| 2023-03-24 |
| [GEO.TV] A court in western India found opposition leader Rahul Gandhi guilty of defamation on Thursday for a speech he made in 2019 in which he referred to thieves as having the surname Modi, and sentenced him to two years in prison. Gandhi was present at the court in Surat, a city in Gujarat ...where rioting seems to be a traditional passtime... , which is Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state. He was given bail and the sentence was suspended for thirty days. Gandhi would appeal against the verdict in a higher court, the president of his Congress party said on Twitter, calling Modi's government "cowardly and dictatorial". "The Modi government is a victim of political bankruptcy", Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said.
