’Attacking democracy in India’, Rahul Gandhi slams BJP in poll-bound Karnataka

Live Mint  

During a public rally in Karnataka ahead of the Assembly elections, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi criticized the BJP and RSS for their alleged assault on democracy in India. Rahul Gandhi expressed concerns saying, “Sad that today across India people from RSS and BJP are attacking democracy." It is pertinent to mention that Rahul Gandhi was found guilty and sentenced to two years in prison on Thursday in a 2019 criminal defamation case over his remarks about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surname in a court in Gujarat's Surat. During a speech at a gathering in the poll-bound state of Kolar, Rahul Gandhi commented on the surname "Modi" which resulted in his conviction for criminal defamation and subsequent disqualification as a Member of Parliament.
