Germany 'takes note' of Rahul case

GERMANY on Thursday said it is taking note of Rahul Gandhi’s conviction in a defamation case and subsequent disqualification from Parliament, a few days after the US made a similar observation.

“We have taken note of the verdict of the first instance against Rahul Gandhi and the suspension of his Parliamentary mandate,“ Germany’s foreign ministry spokesperson said which was broadcast through Deutsche Welle.

“To our knowledge, Gandhi is in a position to appeal the verdict. It will then become clear whether this verdict will stand and whether the suspension of his mandate has any basis,“ the spokesperson said during a media briefing.

The standards of judicial independence and fundamental democratic principles should apply in the case of opposition, she added.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was disqualified as a Member of Lok Sabha (MP) after a court in Gujarat convicted him in a criminal defamation case over his ‘Modi surname’ remark. In an election rally in 2019 in Kolar, Karnataka, Rahul had said “how come all the thieves have Modi as the common surname”.

The criminal defamation case against Rahul was filed by BJP MLA from Surat West Purnesh Modi.
