It is notable that this case was registered against Rahul Gandhi for his statement in which he allegedly said that why all thieves have Modi as their surname? BJP MLA and former Gujarat minister Purnesh Modi had filed a complaint against this statement of Rahul Gandhi. Gandhi, a Lok Sabha member from Wayanad, made this alleged remark at a public meeting held in Kolar, Karnataka ahead of the general elections to 2019. In this regard, the court asked Rahul Gandhi to apologize, on which Rahul Gandhi said that my statement was political. I will not apologise, I do not want the mercy of the court.
