An Indian court finds opposition leader Rahul Gandhi guilty of defamation for a 2019 campaign trail remark implying that Prime Minister Modi is a criminal
The case in Modi's home state of Gujarat is one of several lodged against his chief opponent Gandhi in recent years.
The case stemmed from a remark made during the 2019 election campaign in which the 52-year-old had asked why "all thieves have Modi as common surname". "If you are going to insult the entire Modi surname, this is completely defamatory," Ravi Shankar Prasad, a lawmaker for the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party , told reporters.
