Background

Rahul Gandhi Disqualified Live: Hello and welcome to ABP Live. Follow ABP Live's blog to get the breaking news, latest updates, and other developing stories pertaining to the disqualification of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi after his conviction in the criminal defamation case over his 'Modi surname' remark.

Notably, a Surat court on Thursday convicted Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case for his alleged 'Modi surname' remark during the 2019 Lok Sabha poll campaign. He was sentenced to two years in jail by the court.

A day after Gandhi's conviction, BJP President JP Nadda slammed him saying that his ego was very big and his level of understanding was very small. Nadda further said that the Congress leader has insulted the OBC community for his political gains.

Nadda took to Twitter and said, "Rahul Gandhi's ego is very big and understanding is very small. For his political gains, he insulted the entire OBC community and called them a thief. He also ignored the option of repeatedly explaining and apologising by the society and the court and continuously hurt the sentiments of the OBC community."

Union Minister Bhupender Yadav also slammed Rahul Gandhi and said that he insulted our judicial system and defamed the nation on foreign soil. No politician has the right to insult the OBC community.

"Rahul Gandhi insulted our judicial system. He defamed the nation on foreign soil. No politician has the right to insult the OBC community. This behaviour of the leader shows Bharat Todo, not Bharat Jodo. Congress is questioning the legal decision. Insulting any surname is not freedom of speech," Bhupender Yadav said as quoted by the news agency ANI.

The Congress said it would not be "intimidated or silenced" after Rahul Gandhi was disqualified from the Lok Sabha following his conviction in a 2019 defamation case. Congress communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh said the party would fight the battle legally and politically.

"We will fight this battle both legally and politically. We will not be intimidated or silenced. Instead of a JPC into the PM-linked Adani MahaMegaScam, Rahul Gandhi stands disqualified. Indian Democracy Om Shanti," Ramesh tweeted.
