Surat: The sessions and district court of Surat today upheld the lower court’s verdict sentencing Congress leader Rahul Gandhi to two years imprisonment in the defamation case filed by ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) legislator Purnesh Modi. The court has not given any relief against the conviction of Rahul Gandhi in this case as well, meaning Rahul’s disqualification from the membership of Lok Sabha continues. The court rejected Rahul’s plea. Rahul Gandhi is reportedly moving to the State High Court tomorrow to challenge the order.
