A sessions court in Gujarat's Surat on Thursday rejected an application filed by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi seeking a stay on his conviction in the 2019 criminal defamation case for his "Modi surname" remark. Notably, Gandhi lost his seat in Parliament after his conviction in the case which entails a two-year jail sentence. He is currently out on bail.
