I was surprised to learn from TV yesterday that Congress leader, Lok Sabha MP, Rahul Gandhi was found guilty in a criminal defamation case filed in Surat, Gujarat and sentenced to two years in prison. As expected, soon all hell broke loose in the Congress camp. It was a case filed in 2019 over his remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi made in a public speech in Kolar, Karnataka, during the ensuing Parliamentary election. Mentioning the names of two fugitive businessmen Nirav Modi and Lalit Modi, who were accused of cheating the banks, Rahul Gandhi had said, “How come all thieves have the common surname Modi?”
