Drama, Attempt To Pressurise Court: BJP On Rahul Gandhi’s Appeal Challenging Conviction

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju on Monday (April 3, 2023) launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is likely to be in Gujarat's Surat to file an appeal in a court against his conviction in a criminal defamation case over his "Modi surname" remarks. In a tweet, Rijiju called Rahul going personally to the Surat Court "a drama"."Rahul Gandhi might be going to Surat to file an Appeal. It is not required of a convict to go personally to file an Appeal. Generally, no convict goes personally. His going personally with a motley group of leaders and aides accompanying him is only a drama," he said.
