The Supreme Court today suspended Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's conviction in a criminal defamation case over his remarks on the 'Modi' surname. The order will allow him to return to parliament and contest national elections due next year.
The trial judge has awarded the maximum sentence of two years in the case, the top court observed, pointing out that it would not have attracted disqualification if the sentence was a day lesser.
Here are the highlights on Rahul Gandhi Defamation Case:

"The decision taken by the Hon'ble Supreme Court regarding Rahul Gandhi is welcome. If BJP's malicious and compromised system did not get a shock, then they would have continued the forgery of keeping many other opposition leaders out of the legislature under conspiracies. Satyameva Jayate! #INDIA," he tweeted.
माननीय सर्वोच्च न्यायालय का राहुल गांधी जी के संदर्भ में लिया गया फैसला स्वागत योग्य है। अगर भाजपा के दुष्प्रचारी एवं कॉम्प्रोमाइज्ड तंत्र को ये झटका नही लगता तो कई और विपक्षी नेताओं को ये साजिशों व षड्यंत्रों के तहत विधायिका से बाहर रखने की जालसाजी जारी रखते। सत्यमेव जयते!...

भाजपा की नकारात्मक राजनीति का अहंकारी ध्वज आज उनके नैतिक अवसान के शोक में झुक जाना चाहिए।
In the pursuit of truth, the essence of Satyamev Jayate resonates once more. The unwavering voice of truth shall never be subdued. The Hon'ble Supreme Court's decision on Rahul Gandhi Ji's case is a herald of justice, warmly embraced.
