MLA and Kerala Pradesh Congress Committee working president T. Siddique has alleged that the stance of the Gujarat High Court in refusing to stay the conviction of former Wayanad MP Rahul Gandhi in the criminal defamation case was the result of a well-plotted attempt of the ‘wretched fascist forces’ in the country.
He was speaking after inaugurating a protest march and a public meeting organised by the District Congress Committee (DCC) here on Friday in protest against the stance of the High Court.
There was nothing to wonder about in the action of the court as the success of the historical Bharat Jodo Yatra led by Mr. Gandhi had triggered panic among ‘fascist forces’, Mr. Siddique alleged.
