We will still raise our voice for democracy and secular values."Yesterday, Gandhi was disqualified as a Member of Lok Sabha from the date of his conviction (March 23) in the criminal defamation case over his 'Modi surname' remark.This comes after the Surat court on Thursday, sentenced Gandhi to two years imprisonment in a defamation case over his 'Modi surname' remark made in 2019 during an election rally in Karnataka.Rahul Gandhi made the "how come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname" remark in April 2019, at a Lok Sabha election rally at Kolar in Karnataka.BJP MLA from Surat West, Purnesh Modi filed the criminal defamation case against Rahul Gandhi.Rahul Gandhi's disqualification from Lok Sabha triggered a massive political row with the BJP stating that the Congress leader was "a habitual loose cannon" and the Congress alleging that he was got "deliberately disqualified".Opposition leaders slammed the government after the disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from Lok Sabha, and the Congress said it would launch a people's movement on the issue.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
