The Surat sessions court on Thursday dismissed the 52-year-old Congress leader’s appeal against his conviction in a defamation case for a 2019 election speech mocking the Modi surname. The sentencing in Gujarat, Modi’s home state, was followed by a parliament notice a day later which said that the lawmaker representing Kerala’s Wayanad constituency stood disqualified as a member of the lower house from the date of his conviction in compliance with constitutional requirements.
