Now know why Rahul Gandhi lost his Lok Sabha membership
Before the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, during a rally in Kolar, Karnataka, Rahul Gandhi had said, ‘Modi is the surname of thieves. Why do all thieves have the surname Modi, be it Lalit Modi or Nirav Modi or Narendra Modi.
After this, Surat West’s BJP MLA Purnesh Modi filed a defamation case against Rahul. He said that Rahul Gandhi has called our entire society a thief and this is a defamation of our society. During the hearing of this case, Rahul Gandhi appeared in the court three times. During the last appearance of October 2021, he declared himself innocent.
According to his lawyer, ‘Rahul said that my intention was not wrong while giving the statement. I had raised my voice against corruption.
In this case, Rahul Gandhi was convicted by the Surat court on Thursday. The court also imposed a sentence of 2 years on him and a fine of 15 thousand. After some time, the same court also granted him bail for 30 days. 2 years in jail is the maximum punishment in case of defamation. That is, more than this punishment cannot be given in this case.
Rahul Gandhi’s lawyer Babu Mangukiya told that the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate HH Verma had convicted Rahul Gandhi under sections 499 and 500 of the IPC. It also granted him bail and suspended the sentence for 30 days to enable him to appeal to the High Court.
In 2013, Rahul himself tore the ordinance, if it had been passed, Rahul would not have had any difficulty.

On 24 September 2013, the Congress government called a press conference to highlight the merits of the ordinance. In this same press conference, Rahul Gandhi reached and said – this ordinance is rubbish and should be torn and thrown away. He tore the copy of the ordinance. After this this ordinance was withdrawn.

- Priyanka Gandhi: The whole machinery of scared power is trying to suppress the voice of Rahul Gandhi by imposing price, punishment, discrimination.

The power of truth and the love of crores of countrymen are with him.

- Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot: The kind of atmosphere of fear and violence that has been created in the country, there is pressure on ED, Judiciary, Election Commission.
