Union Law & Justice minister Kiren Rijiu in his tweets raked up the same issue and pointed out: 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. What Rahul Gandhi is doing is also a childish attempt to bring pressure on the appellate court. All courts in the country are immune from such tactics: Law and Justice minister Kiren Rijiju

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala in a tweet said: It is clear as daylight that a brazen attempt is being made by Rahul & family to intimidate the judiciary & amplify the insult of the OBC community by this BHAKTI PRADARSHAN of Congress darbaris

Rahul Gandhi does not need to go personally to file an appeal – the idea to make a spectacle of this only shows

1) Arrogance of SHEHZADA Rahul who has no remorse for his comments against OBCs

2) Attempt to try & intimidate the court

3) Play a victim card & create a narrative against the Indian judicial system
