New Delhi: Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from Lok Sabha after he was convicted in a criminal defamation case in Surat court. He was sentenced to two years for his remarks saying ‘all Modis are thieves’. While Congress has announced a fightback and is calling it a black day for Indian democracy, BJP holds the stand that everything was done as per the laws.
Rahul Gandhi held a press conference at AICC headquarters at 1 pm to express his views on the same.
Yesterday, the Congress leader shared a tweet saying that he is fighting for the voice of India and is ready to pay any cost.
मैं भारत की आवाज़ के लिए लड़ रहा हूं।
मैं हर कीमत चुकाने को तैयार हूं।
