New Delhi: After a Surat court rejected Rahul Gandhi's appeal in a defamation case involving his "Modi surname" remark, the Congress party criticised the decision on Thursday, calling it "erroneous and unsustainable" and claiming the judge seemed "over-shadowed" by the high office of the prime minister.
Abhishek Singhvi, a senior Congress spokesperson, said the party would appeal to the High Court "very shortly" because the ruling is "fallacious" and "contrary to all basic principles of law."
