A Surat sessions court is set to announce its verdict on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's plea for a stay on his conviction in a defamation case on April 20.
The case pertains to his "Modi surname" remark. Gandhi had filed an appeal in the court challenging the lower court's decision, which had convicted him and sentenced him to two years in prison. The conviction also led to his disqualification from the Lok Sabha, adding to the growing tension between the BJP-led government and the Opposition.
The verdict is keenly awaited by both parties, as it is expected to have significant implications for the political landscape in the country. The outcome of the case could also impact the Congress party's prospects in upcoming elections. All eyes are now on the Surat sessions court, as it prepares to deliver its verdict on the matter.
