DISQUALIFICATION SOUGHT:

In a quick action, Vineet Jindal, an activist and Supreme Court lawyer, on Thursday filed a complaint with Lok Sabha Speaker, seeking disqualification of Rahul Gandhi from the House with immediate effect.

Meanwhile, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi said her brother had spoken the truth all his life and would continue to speak the truth.

“The entire scared machinery of power is trying to suppress the voice of Rahul Gandhi through 'saam, daam, dand, bhed'. My brother has never been afraid, nor will he ever be. He has lived speaking the truth, will continue to speak the truth," tweeted Priyanka Gandhi in Hindi.

She asserted that Rahul would continue to raise his voice for the people of the country because the power of truth and the love of crores of people are with him.

Congress president and Leader of Opposition in Rajya Sabha Mallikarjun Kharge said the party will fight the judgement as per law.

The NCP on Thursday said the same law would catch up with the "BJP motormouths" soon.

"BJP leaders are saying that Rahul Gandhi must learn a lesson from his conviction and choose his words before speaking. The same applies to motormouths of the BJP because our Judiciary is supreme, and it will catch up with them too, sooner rather than later," NCP spokesperson Clyde

Crasto tweeted.

Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal also expressed his support and alleged that there was a “conspiracy to eliminate” nonBJP leaders and parties by prosecuting them.

‘‘We have differences with the Congress, but it is not right to implicate Rahul Gandhi in a defamation case like this. It is the job of the public and the opposition to ask questions," he tweeted. Kejriwal further said that he respects the court but does not agree with the decision.
