Talking to newsmen at a presser, Union Minister Smriti Irani today said that Gandhi was convicted not for “abusing” an individual but the entire OBC community and “pretends not be a coward” when he already apologized to the Supreme Court in 2019 for his remarks against PM Modi.

Irani said that in his attempt to “insult” PM Modi, Rahul Gandhi also “insulted the entire OBC community and yet does not have the humility to “beg forgiveness” from them (OBC) which shows the “political arrogance” of the Gandhi family.

The BJP and the Congress have been involved in a political slugfest since a court in Gujarat’s Surat city convicted its Rahul Gandhi in a 2019 criminal defamation case and sentenced him to a two-year prison term, which led to his disqualification from Lok Sabha.
