Rahul Gandhi still has time to seek apology from nation: Anurag Thakur

Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur after a Gujarat court rejected the Congress leader's plea seeking a stay on his conviction in a defamation case, said Rahul Gandhi  still has time to seek apology from the nation.

Gandhi was convicted last month in a case slapped by a Gujarat BJP MLA over the Congress leader's remarks at a rally in Kolar which were deemed to be insulting to the entire Modi community.

The former Congress president petitioned the sessions court in Gujarat, seeking a stay on his March 23 conviction in the criminal defamation case.

Surat court rejecting Rahul Gandhi's plea to stay his conviction in the defamation case has once again proved that the Congress dynast intentionally insulted the OBC community of India in the name of abusing & attacking PM Sri Narendra Modi, Thakur said.
