NEW DELHI: Rahul Gandhi is expected to file an appeal on Monday against his conviction in a criminal defamation case at the Surat court. According to sources, the legal team has completed all necessary preparations for this appeal.
On March 23, Gandhi was convicted in the defamation case, resulting in a two-year sentence and disqualification from the Lok Sabha.
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Thursday said that a legal team was working on the case involving the former Gandhi’s conviction.
Kharge said that the party was ready to face the matter “politically and legally”, and also criticised the Central government for disqualifying Rahul Gandhi “in haste”.
