New Delhi, Aug 4 (PTI) Top leaders of opposition bloc INDIA on Friday hailed the Supreme Court order staying the conviction of Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case and asserted that the decision reinforced people’s trust in the Indian judiciary and democracy and it will further strengthen the resolve of the alliance to unitedly fight and win against the BJP.
The Supreme Court on Friday stayed Gandhi’s conviction in the 2019 defamation case over his Modi surname remark, paving the way for revival of his Lok Sabha membership.
A three-judge bench of Justices B R Gavai, P S Narasimha and Sanjay Kumar said no reason was given by the trial court judge while convicting Gandhi except that he was admonished by the apex court in a contempt case.
