New Delhi: Former Congress president Rahul Gandhi will go to Gujarat’s Surat on Monday, and is likely to file an appeal before a court against his conviction in a defamation case recently.
“Rahul Gandhi ji will go to Surat on Monday. His petition against his conviction by the Surat court is ready and he is likely to present it on Monday,” party sources said.
Sources said the former Congress chief will seek a stay on his conviction in the defamation case.
Last month, a Surat court convicted Gandhi in a defamation case for his “all thieves have Modi surname” remarks at a rally in Karnataka’s Kolar in 2019.
Later, he was disqualified from Lok Sabha as a member following his conviction in the case.
