NEW DELHI: Backing Rahul Gandhi after the Gujarat high court on Friday rejected his petition seeking a stay on his conviction in a criminal defamation case over his Modi surname remark, senior Congress leaders have, in immediate response, called his suspension from Parliament a “political conspiracy”.
Though Congress Rajya MP and senior advocate Abhishek Manu Singhvi will make an official statement from the All India Congress Committee (AICC) headquarters in the national capital later in the day, the senior leaders have defended Rahul and trained their guns on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP.
