In a major blow to the former Congress President Rahul Gandhi who is also a Member of Lok Sabha representing the Wayanad Parliamentary Constituency of Kerala, he has been disqualified from Lok Sabha after his conviction in a 2019 criminal defamation case titled Purnesh Modi vs Rahul Gandhi by a Court in Gujarat that was filed by a BJP MLA Purnesh Modi who is former Gujarat Minister and BJP MLA from Surat West over his remark at a poll rally in Karnataka's Kolar. The Court said, "The case of the complainant has been proven beyond doubt based on witness statements, documentary and electronic evidence." It must be mentioned here that the remarks of Rahul Gandhi had been video graphed by the video surveillance team and video viewing team duly notified by the office of the Deputy Commissioner.
It must be noted that a Magistrate Court in the Surat district of Gujarat while convicting and sentencing Rahul to two years imprisonment in a criminal defamation case said, that Rahul Gandhi insulted all persons with the surname 'Modi'. It may be recalled that Rahul Gandhi was sentenced to two years imprisonment for his "Why all thieves have Modi surname?" comment which he allegedly made during the Parliamentary election campaign in 2019! The Gujarat High Court vacated the stay on trial in the criminal defamation case in February this year.
