Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday took a swipe at the media persons while helping the party chief Mallikarjun Kharge climb down the stairs and said to Kharge that "if I touch your feet they will say I am wiping my nose on your back". 

"If I touch you now, they say I'm wiping my nose on your back. Utter nonsense. Have you seen that? That I am helping you over there, they're saying that I'm wiping my nose on you," says Rahul Gandhi as he helps party chief Mallikarjun Kharge down the stairs, as reported by the news agency ANI.

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.
